I loved the kitchen and the backyard in this cute Los Gatos home. The kitchen is very functional with granite counters. The layout makes it easy to work in—that’s always a bonus in my eye. It also has an “L” shaped counter that you can use for extra seating or a great space to set up a buffet. The backyard has 2 arbors, an outdoor dining area and a large lawn area. All of that equals perfect outdoor entertaining—A California must! Check out the virtual tour here.

Charm, Charm, Charm—I don’t know what else I can say. This 2 bedroom home in the Green Gable’s neighborhood of Palo Alto is full of charm. The front porch is covered and has an adorable little blue gate. The generous family room has french doors that open to the living room. It also has a wood stove in the family room contributing to even more charm. In the backyard you will find large mature trees. Truly a must see. Here is the 
Walk in the front door of this charming 1940 brick cottage and the front rooms are as traditional as you’d imagine: graceful dining room on the left, formal living on the right. But step through the front hallway and the back of the house opens to a modern, light-filled space.

When Nora Sandoval first stepped into this house in 1997, lockers lined the entry way, desks were scattered through the living room and baby cribs lined the library. Surely this wasn’t a house for sale, she thought. In fact, though, it was a home for some 16 teenaged unwed mothers run by the Volunteers of America. 
For years after they moved in, people would leave bags of baby clothes and diapers on their front porch. When the mailman left soap samples, he would stuff 20 through the mail slot. 
This California style ranch is in a great neighborhood. Perfect for a young family—since it is situated right across from a wonderful park. It has 3 bedrooms and one bath. The hardwood floors and the red brick fireplace bring so much warmth to the generous living room. The large picture window has a superb view of the park. The backyard is very spacious and has a concrete path circling the yard. I wish I had one of those when my kids were toddlers riding their little tyke bikes!

They also asked the owner of a house around the corner for the discarded pillars that had been removed from a port cochere. With them, they built a lovely pavilion at the back of the property.
“She’s a great old girl with good bones,” Brent said. 
This home has a small vineyard, wine cellar, guest house and multiple verandas. And, let’s not forget the 12 car garage. And, no that’s not a typo. Calling all car collectors this one’s for you! The garage is completely finished with a black and white checkerboard floor.
