About This Home

As of December 2021

We've found your unicorn: centrally located in Silicon Valley + huge 0.26-acre lot + highly coveted historical Rose Garden neighborhood. And it gets better from there. Designed by architect Joseph Eichler, this home takes your mid-mod architecture and ups the ante. Floor-to-ceiling windows, a hidden speakeasy cabinet, a spacious open floorplan, and low, horizontal lines that direct your eye to the lush outdoors. It all transports you to classic 1950 - martini, anyone? Your huge lot is accessible from University Ave & University Way - plus, it feels like an oasis, concreted by the beautiful pool, flagstone patio, manicured grounds, outdoor fireplace, & mature trees that envelope your backyard. Walk to the Municipal Rose Garden, the Light Rail station, or drive a few minutes to Santana Row, all major highways, and the upcoming Google Campus. Keep urban life at bay from this tucked away piece of San Jose.
