Silicon Valley Gardener’s Delight!
Step into the back yard and be amazed at the space, the flowers, the quiet! There’s a sizable patio area with a trellis (and flowering vine) and built in bench. Move beyond that and find a world of beauty with a yard designed with a garden lover in mind. In addition to a nice lawn area, there are roses planted against the house, raised planter beds, a small greenhouse, a pond area with calla lilies surrounding it and every nook and cranny planted with some sort of flowering bush, annual, herb or tree, including fruit trees. Bulb plants and many others are ready to bounce into spring now that the heavy rains of March are past us.
Room to Expand or Add a Pool
Since the lot, and particularly the back yard, is so big, there’s room to grow here. It’s possible to add onto the back of the house, for instance, and still have plenty of backyard left. Or if your heart’s desire is an in-ground pool, there’s room for that too. This is the type of home and location where you’ll want to move in and stay for many years to come. It’s nice to know that it’s a flexible situation in terms of your future wants and needs.
Fabulous Location: Quiet Street, Los Gatos Border
Nerissa Way is a hidden gem in Cambrian Gardens – it’s tucked away, close in, but out of the way….It’s a 3 minute drive to the entrance of highway 85 but far enough for the location to be quiet. The grocery store, a large Safeway, is just a few blocks away or perhaps a 2 minute car ride.
This neighborhood is very close to the Los Gatos border and it’s a quick drive from here to King’s Court Shopping Center, Vasona Lake County Park and all the attractions of Los Gatos.
