About this home
A truly unique opportunity in an extraordinary Los Gatos setting.

Filled with character, the home features three wood-burning fireplaces, hardwood flooring upstairs, authentic brick flooring on the lower level and a Colonial-inspired exterior.

Several additional outbuildings, including an approximately 640 sq. ft. structure, add to the possibilities. Surrounded by mature trees and exceptional privacy, this remarkable acre offers a rare canvas to renovate, expand, reimagine or create your own vision in one of Los Gatos' most sought-after settings.
