Property is move-in ready.
The property is move-in ready and has been extensively remodeled over the years, featuring a kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and recessed lighting. While the original structure dates to 1953, the interior shows well-maintained hardwood and tile flooring, updated double-pane windows, and the addition of a modern detached cottage. The finishes in the bathrooms and kitchen are functional and high-quality, though some styles (like the tile vanity tops) suggest renovations occurred within the 5-15 year 'Good' window rather than a brand-new 'Excellent' renovation.
Situated in the heart of Los Gatos, the property offers an exceptional walkable lifestyle with immediate access to downtown dining, boutique shopping, Vasona Park, and top-rated schools.
The approved 541 SqFt detached ADU provides significant versatility, serving as a high-potential rental income source, guest house, or multi-generational living space.
Featuring a remodeled main residence with granite countertops, sun tunnels for natural light, and a beautifully landscaped exterior with a wide pavered driveway and hill views.
