    What's special

    Built nearly a century ago, the historic Plant 51 cannery has been reborn as a new residential community of lofts and flats. Plant 51 features a contemporary collection of living spaces and outdoor experiences that bring together beautiful design, unique character and an honest-to-goodness neighborhood. From the lushly landscaped courtyards that feature tranquil water features, to the plentiful open-air dining and gathering spots, to the cozy outdoor fire pit, Plant 51 is an oasis in the heart of Silicon Valley and downtown San Jose. The flat offers 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in 1,195 square feet of space. Beautiful hardwood floors and a modern paint palette are found throughout the condo. The modern kitchen features granite countertops and a full tile backsplash, imported European cabinetry with soft-close drawers, polished chrome fixtures and faucets, and stainless steel appliances. The large open living area has a dining area and large windows that let in plenty of natural light. You'll enjoy fantastic views of downtown San Jose and the Diridon train station. The primary bedroom suite features a walk-in closet and a full bathroom with tile floor, granite counter, and a large tiled shower. There is a second bedroom and bath that also features tile floors and granite counter. In-unit laundry features full-size front loading washer and dryer. Plant 51 is a secured building with secured parking. This unit comes with 2 dedicated, tandem parking spaces. Besides all the outdoor features, which also includes a large BBQ area with wet bar, there is the Boiler Room, an original two-story brick warehouse space that has been converted into a modern gym with state-of-the-art fitness and cardio equipment. This space is where the original boilers that powered the cannery once resided, giving it the character of a true warehouse that will inspire any workout. Housed within the Boiler Room is a fitness studio, perfect for yoga and stretching. Overlooking the Boiler Room and opening onto the courtyard is the Mezzanine Lounge, a unique indoor gathering space that acts as the hub of the community. Just steps from Plant 51 is Cahill Park, a 3.7 acre green space with playgrounds, a basketball court, and plenty of grass to enjoy a game of catch or a quiet picnic. Transportation options are plentiful, with Caltrain and VTA Light Rail in your backyard. At the end of Bush Street, enjoy a brand new Whole Foods Market and brewery. And downtown San Jose beckons from just a few blocks away. Enjoy a nice stroll to plentiful restaurants, bars, theaters, special events, and concerts and sports at the San Jose Arena. Everything you need to enjoy your Silicon Valley lifestyle is minutes away from Plant 51. And when you feel the need to get away from it all, your oasis is your backyard.
