Feel the peace and tranquility on this 3 acre private sanctuary-like property. This unique cabin is only 10 minutes (2.9 miles) from Rt 17. The specialness of this home is in the details beginning with the antique lion door knocker. Graced with soaring wood beamed ceilings and grand picture windows the indoors and outdoors almost become one. Other unique features include gleaming hardwood floors, intricate brass light fixtures, leaded and stained glass windows, and a claw foot tub. The upstairs spacious loft could easily accommodate a second sleeping area or be used as it is set up now - a family room and office. The detached garage is also impressive with high ceilings, a generous workspace area and an automobile lift! Relax in the garden with its soothing mini ponds and waterfall or wander past the back deck to a private hiking trail (an old logging road). This is a very special place. Los Gatos Schools.
