Just Listed: A Los Gatos Dream with a Guest House

Saturday, January 1st, 2011

IMG_5520This 5 bedroom 4 bath home is stunning—AND I mean stunning! This home has an elegant rustic exterior with the large field stone at the footing. The hand-carved wood floors offer tremendous warmth and I love how they feel under foot. IMG_5469The bathrooms all have fab finishes as well as the kitchen. IMG_5668There wasn’t any skimping in the guest house either. They used the same finishes keeping with that rustic elegance. Trust me any guest staying here might stay a while—a long while. IMG_5674But—the most spectacular feature is the backyard—wonderful decks overlooking an amazing view plus a pool and a good-sized lawn area.

Bedrooms—5

Baths—4

Asking–$2,295,000

I think I’m in love. When I pulled up to the front of this home—I knew immediately that this was not going to be an ordinary shoot. It has contemporary lines on the outside, which usually would leaving you feeling a bit of a chill, but this home was warm and inviting. Walking distance to downtown Los Gatos—I imagine myself picking up coffee on a brisk Sunday morning while walking the dog. It has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Large sliding glass doors all lead to the backyard and dining pergola. Perfect for California entertaining! You can see the rest of the virtual tour here.

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.

IMG_2969This 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!

FrontI don’t even know where to begin. This home is truly amazing. The wrap around front porch grabs you–I imagined myself coffee in hand with the paper in the morning and a glass of wine with the husband in the evening. The living and dining areas are so spacious–perfect for fun dinner parties. I’m a sucker for a kitchen that opens to the family room–perfect for keeping an eye on little ones or teenagers. Let’s face those ages need the most supervision! Seriously, this is a gem and it’s walking distance to downtown Palo Alto. Don’t even get my started on the master bedroom–oh so dreamy.  Check out the virtual tour here.

FrontCute curb appeal–that’s what I first noticed.  This home is super cute but needs some updating.  The location is amazing–just a short walk to downtown Willow Glen. Oh the shopping and dining and no worries about parking. That’s a dream! The other thing I love about this little place is the pie shaped lot and all the way in the back was an artist studio. Cute little space that I could spend time working on my latest project–oh I’m just a little green with envy. Check out the virtual tour here.

This House reminds me of my grandmother’s. She lived in the Cambrian Neighborhood as well.  What I loved about this house was the huge wrap around counter in the kitchen. Perfect for a buffet! And,  I also loved the screened porch with fireplace.  I can imagine that would extend the California outdoor living season to pretty much year round. I can tell you I met one neighbor who flagged me down because there was something under my car. I pulled over and she climbed under to pull it out! So thumbs up to the neighborhood.
