A near-perfect walk score adds to the appeal of this Los Gatos home. Located in the heart of the downtown at 441 University Avenue, it is centrally located with cafes, shops, restaurants, and services within a half-mile in addition to popular outdoor recreation areas, including the Los Gatos Creek Trail and Vasona Lake County Park. The deep, more than 7,200-square-foot level property offers the opportunity to create a dreamy backyard with outdoor living and dining areas under decorative pergolas leaving plenty of room for gardens and a play area. The charming home, approximately 1,125 square feet, has been completely renovated and features two oversized bedrooms, one bathroom, a kitchen design showcasing new finishes and appliances, a front room that is bright with natural light, and a living/dining area. Fresh and contemporary updates retain the integrity of classic architectural designs such as board and batten detailed walls, wainscoting, and built-ins with glass-faced upper cabinets. Woodgrain luxury vinyl floors, dual pane windows, fresh interior paint, and new fixtures are featured throughout. A detached studio, about 135 square feet, has new flooring and separate entries from the front and back yards. This flexible space would make an ideal home office, art studio, or quiet retreat. Quartz counters with a subway tile backsplash wrap around the light-filled kitchen also appointed with custom, soft-close cabinetry, a stainless farmhouse sink, and stainless appliances. The adjacent dining and living area has a high ceiling and a side-view picture window. Two bedrooms each feature a generous front-facing adjoining room ideal for a private living area or home office space. Each bedroom also has a large closet with sliding doors. The bathroom is beautifully appointed with a ceramic tile floor. A large shower has a glass sliding barn door entry and a decorative tile surround. Off-street parking for at least two cars is available on the side driveway. Additional features include a tankless water heater, a back entry mudroom, and a nearby laundry room. There is also a storage shed in the backyard. Live and thrive in Los Gatos’ small-town ambiance and a community that still celebrates a holiday parade down North Santa Cruz Avenue, the annual Jazz on the Plazz summer concert series, a weekly farmers market, the annual wine walk, and so much more. (Many of these events have been postponed due to COVID). Hop on Highway 17 for convenient access south to Santa Cruz or north into downtown San Jose and Silicon Valley. Top-rated schools are also close by, including Daves Avenue Elementary, Fisher Middle and Los Gatos High.
