870 Brevins Loop: Beautiful, Elegant Willow Glen Home for Sale!

New Listing, Please Stop By!  Open Sat/Sun, June 26-27, 2010 from 2-4pm

Last night I put this new Willow Glen listing of mine on the MLS and I look forward to holding it open this weekend for the first time. If you are in the area, please swing by and have a look! I always enjoy meeting the readers of my blog & this is a home you will enjoy seeing!

The house & yard are full of amenities that Silicon Valley home buyers will appreciate:
hardwood floors, built-in bookcases and media niches, slab granite, gas cooking, stainless steel appliances, lots of windows & natural light, a luxurious master sweet with 2 walk-in closets and a spacious bathroom with big soaking tub, separate shower and two separate vanities. Central air conditioning.   The lush backyard boasts two trellises, sandstone hardscape & custom lighting. The front yard is easy-care: the HOA takes care of the maintenance!

A Realtor friend of mine here in Silicon Valley, Ann O’Farrell of Luxor Real Estate Group, has a lovely listing in Saratoga which I am presenting today (with permission, of course!). As readers of this blog know, I don’t usually post about homes for sale, but this house has some neat features so I wanted to help Ann with the marketing. (This is not a paid post, btw.)

The property is 18803 Mcfarland Avenue, Saratoga, which is just a couple of blocks from Quito Market, close to bus stops and major road acess with Saratoga Avenue, Lawrence Expressway and Highway 85 close by.

The centerpiece of this fine home is the gourmet kitchen, which features an oversized island topped with slab granite, abundant custom cabintry made from Brazilian Cherrywood, stainless steel appliances, a good-sized pantry, recessed lights, 6 burner gas range, two ovens plus a microwave oven, and beautiful hardwood floors.  Although it truly must be seen to be appreciated, here are some hints in the way of photos:
