    What's special

    This delightful Craftsman-style 2 bedroom home with detached studio is located on idyllic, tree-lined street in the highly desirable, Willow Glen neighborhood of San Jose. This vibrant street has very high "Walk-ability and Bike-ability" scores. In the front yard, you'll enjoy a patch of lawn and a blooming bird of paradise. To the right of the front porch is a long, gated driveway with plenty of off-street parking. In the generous-sized back yard you'll find large sunny areas, well-suited for entertaining family and friends with weekend BBQs or just lounging in the sun and having fun. Besides the studio unit is a large tuff-shed to store your off season items, or perhaps to use a well-built play house. There is plenty of gardening room between the main home and studio to exploit your green thumb urges, under the partial shade of a black walnut tree and next to a prolific grapefruit tree. The interior of the home has been freshly painted and it is filled with natural light. The efficient floor plan centers around a generously-sized living room with fireplace with mantel, built-in book shelves on one wall, windows to observe the front yard action on the other, and a bar-height kitchen pass-through opening with granite counter top to serve goodies to your family and guests. The family room is on the other side of the entryway and the 2 bedrooms and bathroom are down the hall towards the back of the home. County records indicate main home is 1057sf. Detached studio is about 400sf. In the main home you'll find dual pane windows, easy care flooring, interior shutters, central heating and air conditioning, kitchen granite counter-tops and recessed lighting. There is also a little laundry room with full sized washer and dryer and a side door leading to the driveway. Simply phenomenal location within minutes (9-10 blocks) of Lincoln Avenue attractions, amenities, boutique shops, cafes, and the numerous culinary delights that downtown Willow Glen has to offer. Also, just a few blocks from the developing "Three Creeks Trail." The City of San Jose plans to develop the Three Creeks Trail (western alignment), a landscaped and paved Class I trail system that will connect to the Los Gatos Creek Trail, Guadalupe River Trail, Highway 87 Bikeway and Coyote Creek Trail. The western alignment runs from Lonus Street (north) to the Guadalupe River (south), and is currently open in an interim state. Good proximity to public and private schools including Willow Glen Elementary School, Willow Glen Middle School and Willow Glen High School (San Jose Unified School District). Tenants to verify eligibility and space. Easy access to the world renown Silicon Valley employers including Google, Meta, Nvidia, Amazon, Tesla and Apple, via Highways 87/280/880/17. No Smoking. Tenants pay utilities (gas, water, electric, garbage, internet/cable, etc.).
