    What's special

    First time on the market in over 60 years, this cherished home is located on one of the most desirable streets within The Gates, a neighborhood celebrated for its large lots, community spirit, and walkable access to top-rated public schools. Set on an expansive 1/4+ acre lot, this 1950s ranch-style home offers a unique blend of opportunity and legacy. The home is ideally set back from the street, creating a relaxed, welcoming curb appeal. A front courtyard with a built-in fireplace and Spanish-style tile invites evening gatherings, neighborly waves, and California outdoor living at its finest. Inside, the spacious layout features large picture windows, original hardwood floors (preserved beneath carpet), and a light-filled family room that opens directly to the backyard. The rear yard is a private retreat, complete with pool, spa, and mature landscaping, perfect for both quiet enjoyment and entertaining. Whether you choose to restore the existing charm or reimagine the property entirely, the possibilities are as expansive as the lot itself. With its unbeatable location, generous footprint, and rarely available setting, this is your chance to build or personalize your dream estate in one of Willow Glens most prestigious streets.
