About This Home

As of November 2022

This cute townhome is boho chic, filled with light and is in a great location! In the heart of Japantown, so close to the shops and restaurants you dont even need to own a coffee maker! ! The kitchen has been fully updated with newer cabinets, quartz countertops and hardwood floor throughout. Sun filled living and dining rooms with access to the private patio beyond. Want to have your own garden? Why not spruce up the neighborhood with access to the community garden! The primary suite has a private bath and looks over the patio. The bonus room is the one car garage that has been finished as a hobby room but can be used as an office, home gym or guest room. Very low HOA. No Rental restrictions! Great location near, downtown historic Japantown, 280,101, 87, light rail, CalTrain, Bart and of course the much anticipated San Jose Google Campus!!
