Remarks

Welcome to 860 Newell Rd. The owner is selling this home in its AS-IS condition. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath one level home is situated on a very large and unique lot. It may be the property you've been looking for to make it your dream home. There is a structure at the very back of this property known as "The Little House" which has many possibilities; perhaps a private office, music/art studio or the storage area you've been looking for. Situated on a 30,056 sq. ft. lot there are many magnificent trees that circle the back & sides of this home with plenty of room for picnic tables, trampoline, hot-tub, planting gardens, "hoops" . The opportunities are endless. BTW... did I mention there is plenty of off-street parking in addition to the two car garage. Also, it's located in a great school district. Plus has easy access to commute routes to the Silicon Valley Tech Giants. Come see for yourself.
