About This Home

As of April 2020

Set in the the prestigious Rose Garden neighborhood of San Jose, this 1936 cottage is a treasure. Two bedrooms, one bathroom, a quaint dining space and living room with wood burning fireplace. The kitchen overlooks the backyard and showcases its charm with the classic Wedgewood gas stove. Original hardwood flooring, central heating and air conditioning and inside laundry in the utility room off of the kitchen all create the welcoming feel. Large flat lot with detached garage may create possible ADU opportunity. Close to Rose Garden Municipal Park, restaurants, shopping, Santana Row, Valley Fair, Zanotto's Market, Whole Foods, Sharks, Diridon Station, and the future Google worldwide headquarters. It's a must see!!
