About This Home
As of December 2020This charming and contemporary Craftsman home is ready to welcome you home! Boasting large upgraded windows, recently painted interior and exterior walls, and newly installed ductless AC, all you have to do is move in! Located in the Burbank area, this home has a desirable location nearby Valley Fair, Santana Row, Willow Glen, the Rose Garden area, San Jose Diridon Station, and the proposed Google Village.
