About This Home

As of November 2022

Rarely available vintage home on one of the Heritage Districts most beloved streets lined by mature trees and other charming homes. Nicely located a short stroll from Trader Joes, Whole Foods, the attractions of Murphy Street, the new AMC Dine-In theater and all the vibrancy of up-and-coming Downtown Sunnyvale. This charming home is unspoiled, still offering most of its original charming features (coffered ceilings, arched doorways, ornate trim work, original kitchen, front door with speak-easy, etc..) yet is in move in condition, making it a great value for someone wanting a charming home on an old fashion friendly (yes, 4th of July block parties) street, or the Buyer who wants a great location with potential to add their own special touches. Other than a great location and charming home, the property also offers a large 2 car detached garage with work bench, a nice size basement and generous size back yard ready for a gardeners special touches. A must see and great value! WOW!
