Description

Come take a look at one of the finest homes in Gilroy's prestigious "Golden Triangle" area. Located near the downtown area but far enough to be quiet and private. This home though built in the late 30's has been enlarged and upgraded many times over the years. There is near new paint outside and new paint inside as well as new carpets and wood floor in the super large family room. Double pane windows along with the shade of 100 year old (est.) redwood trees keep this place cool year round. When it needs it the house also has central heat and air. Or, sit outside on the deck in your hot tub/spa amid the redwoods and enjoy your own woodland.With almost half an acre there is room for vegetable gardens, workshops, decks, RV/Boat Storage and pets! Check out the shop that is set up for a pro wood working area and built to match the house. Over $100K invested in the shop that includes alley access for almost all vehicles. Simply put, this one has IT ALL! The pool table stays!!
