Unifamiliare Indipendente San Jose

Behind the beautiful brick of this 1936 storybook home, you’ll find a 2,272 square-foot main home of real Willow Glen character, PLUS a detached cottage. The main home has three bedrooms plus an oversized and bright family room, two recently remodeled bathrooms, and a full bed and bath on the main level. The living room sets the tone with beamed ceilings, an arched wood-burning fireplace, preserved hardwood floors, and old-world windows framing one of the neighborhood’s prettiest tree-lined streets. The windows are one of many surprises of the home, as they keep the vintage look without the vintage age: they’re Renewal by Andersen, installed just a few years ago. The white kitchen pairs classic cabinetry with a commercial-style gas range, and the formal dining room looks straight out to the garden. Upstairs, the primary suite has a soft window seat made for slow Sunday mornings and arched built-ins you simply don’t get in new construction. Out back, brick-edged paths connect a covered cabana, a patio sized for long dinners, and a detached cottage of roughly 300 square feet... guest space, art studio, or the home office you actually have peace in. The backyard is fully framed in mature greenery, feeling like your own quiet corner of Willow Glen. A fig tree anchors the garden, and there’s something quietly great about eating fruit you grew yourself, steps from your kitchen. Morning coffee out here is private, shaded, and yours alone. All of it sits blocks from Lincoln Avenue, where the coffee shops, the farmers market, and neighbors who wave hello explain why buyers search for Willow Glen by name. Commuters get quick access to 87, 280, and downtown San Jose. Homes with this much story rarely change hands here. This one is ready for its next chapter
