Remarks

New in 2013 on the QUIET Minnesota Ave. or the little Minnesota (mini Minnesota!) within two blocks of dining and shopping. Completely rebuilt and reconfigured in 2013 with hardwood floors, granite kitchen with gas stove and breakfast bar, laundry room, large primary suite with two sinks, separate tub and shower and large walk-in closet all at the back of the house with access to the backyard. Large patio off the kitchen and living space easy for outdoor living and California dining 9 months out of the year. Two separate living spaces right off the kitchen. The house has central A/C and LED lighting throughout and it is all on one level. Attached garage goes right into the laundry room and into the kitchen to bring your groceries right inside. Warm, earthy ambiance welcomes you into the sunlit family room framed by expansive windows & glass doors that open to a backyard oasis. The formal dining area accented by new lighting that perfect for unforgettable gatherings. Great layout and minutes to shopping, downtown Willow Glen, dining at Souvlakki, Tlaquepaque, The Giving Pies, freeways and San Jose Unified Schools.
