Property is new construction or fully renovated.
Despite the 1940 build date, the property is in mint, move-in ready condition with significant recent upgrades. The home features fresh interior/exterior paint, gleaming hardwood floors, and a modern primary suite with vaulted ceilings. High-end systems and amenities, including a saltwater pool with solar heating, a Swedish sauna, and an IPE composite deck, indicate a level of maintenance and renovation consistent with the 'Excellent' category.
The backyard is a premier entertainment space featuring a solar-heated saltwater pool, a hot tub with a waterfall, a Swedish sauna, and a professional putting green, offering luxury features rarely found on a lot of this size.
Located in the heart of Willow Glen, the property is within walking distance to Wallenberg Park and is served by the highly-rated Booksin Elementary School, significantly boosting its desirability and resale value.
This 1940s residence masterfully blends vintage character—including original ornate arches and a classic phone booth—with modern 'move-in ready' updates like fresh paint and refinished hardwood floors.
With only 1,452 square feet of living space for a three-bedroom home, the interior may feel small for families or buyers seeking the more expansive open-concept layouts typical of newer constructions.
Given the home's 1940 construction date, buyers should be mindful of potential limitations inherent in older properties, such as dated electrical, plumbing, or insulation systems that may not meet modern efficiency standards.
Welcome to this 1940s charmer in the heart of Willow Glen. Thoughtfully preserved, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence offers approximately 1,452 square feet of living space on a 6,665 square foot lot, and a character that's genuinely rare in today's market. From the street, the curb appeal stops you. Inside, original ornate arches, decorative ceiling work, vintage hardware, and a classic phone booth give the home a warmth and soul that new construction simply can't touch. Fresh interior and exterior paint and gleaming hardwood floors make it move-in ready without losing any of that charm. The primary suite features vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet, and direct access to the backyard. Out back, a 30x12 saltwater pool with solar heating and automatic cover, a 5x12 hot tub with waterfall and built-in bench, a Swedish sauna, professional putting green, and an IPE composite deck. A flex room attached to the garage overlooks the pool, perfect as a private office, studio, or gym. An automatic gate, water softener, and extra storage complete the package. Steps from Wallenberg Park, served by highly sought-after Booksin Elementary, and close to the shops and restaurants of downtown Willow Glen.
