This is a diamond in the rough!! Wonderful views and open space. Needs major work or a new home but can be a very special place. Some parts of the house not permitted. Easy to show!! Get out of the valley smog and traffic and enjoy the peace and quiet. Saratoga schools and village just minute away! Bring your contractor and imagination! Bring your offers!! Must drive by first,
