From the moment you turn onto the graceful gravel driveway, you know you are somewhere special. On 1.34 acres of groomed redwood forest, this well-maintained modern home provides complete privacy. The focal point of the living room is a European-styled RIKA Austroflamm pellet stove, and upstairs are 3 bedrooms and 2 remodeled baths with Carrara marble. Downstairs is another half bath and laundry. With storage galore, this gorgeous property is set up for self-sufficiency, with city water, a well + storage tank. Only 5 min to Boulder Creek and 25 min to downtown Los Gatos, truly exceptional.
