Recently I listed a great little home in Saratoga, California - one of the most upscale communities in Silicon Valley with great schools, beautiful homes, and low crime. Saratoga is nestled into the coastal foothills and is just a tad north of Los Gatos (about 3 miles away) so shares the scenic beauty found in the shadow of the Santa Cruz Mountains.

The Brookview neighborhood consists mostly of single story ranch homes built in 1956 or 1957. They are mostly homes of 1400-1500 sf originally, and most are on lots of 9000 - 10,000 SF. Sales prices frequently range between $1.2 and $1.4 million for homes of this size, but larger or expanded homes can go for considerably higher prices. With wide streets, mature trees and a real "ranch" feel, this classic California suburb is highly desired.

Chance to buy low, improve & expand!

My new listing is smaller than most (1191 SF), and more original than most, but it sits on a large lot of 10,454 SF (according to the county). It is clean as a whistle and has neutral colors so is VERY liveable now. (No pink or mint green kitchen or baths!) There's hardwood under the carpet. And the furnace and AC are just 3 years old. Inspections are done and it's really very clean for the age.

Asking price, you wonder? It's an amazingly low $1,025,000!
