Property Description

Palm Haven Craftsman: Historic Charm, Modern Soul. Located in Willow Glen's historic Palm Haven neighborhood known for its palm-lined streets, summer porch parties, and local parades this single-story Craftsman home offers a great blend of early 20th-century character and updated infrastructure. The interior features classic details like tray ceilings and a restored wood-burning fireplace. While the aesthetic remains historic, the essential systems have been modernized with hardwood floors throughout, copper plumbing, updated electrical, new HVAC, and a water softening system. The layout begins with an enclosed front porch that leads into a bright living room and a formal dining room, both featuring original baseboards and picture rails. The kitchen was updated in 2022 with quartz countertops, a Viking stove, and Cafe appliances. The primary bedroom is large enough for a California King and includes a walk-in closet, while the two full bathrooms have been tastefully remodeled one of which serves as a convenient dual-entry bath between the bedrooms. At the back of the home, a sunroom provides a flexible space for a third bedroom, office, or hobby room. The 6,840-square-foot lot is fully enclosed and landscaped for privacy. The backyard includes a custom Redwood pergola and an edible garden with avocado, citrus, and a plum-nectarine-peach hybrid tree. For parking, a solar-powered gate leads to a long driveway with space for multiple cars, a large RV or a safe space to play. Practical extras include a detached two-car garage with a side office and stand-up attic, plus a clean basement ideal for storage or a wine cellar. Best of all, you're just a short walk from Palm Haven Park, Three Creeks Trail, and the popular shops and dining on Lincoln Avenue.
