    What's special

    Beautiful & charming Willow Glen home minutes from Downtown does not disappoint & is full of potential, fulfilling a buyers dream. The home includes a welcoming front porch, bay windows, updated kitchen & large bonus room that could serve as a bedroom or family room w/ a combined full bathroom & utility room. In post-Covid times, there is a beautifully functional home office & high-speed internet w/ its own private entrance from the spacious backyard w/ outdoor sitting areas. The large two car garage can serve a number of uses, such as game room, home theater, or workshop as there is ample parking in the tandem 3 car driveway. Want extra income? These days, ADUs are gold. With R-2 zoning, there is potential for converting the garage/office space into an ADU for family or rental income. Willow Glen is well known for amazing neighborhood holiday traditions and this holiday season will be no exception. You'll find your very own snowman in the garage just waiting to be displayed.
