My colleague George Lee represented the buyer who purchased and fully renovated 1361 Cabrillo Ave. When the project was complete, he called me to co-list the exit. I don't take that kind of trust lightly, and the property reflects it! Every permit pulled, every system updated, nothing cut short.

What that looks like in practice: a 4-bed, 2.5-bath home with a chef's kitchen, completely redone bathrooms, new central air, dual-pane windows, new flooring throughout, and a clean, low-maintenance backyard. 1,974 sq ft. Two-car garage with epoxy floor. Cataldi Park nearby, BART access close, easy freeway reach to anywhere in Silicon Valley.

$1,785,000 for a home this well-executed in this neighborhood won't last.

Open houses this weekend:
📅 Saturday, August 1 — 2 to 5pm
📅 Sunday, August 2 — 2 to 5pm

Open House Showdown.

Two brand-new homes. Same neighborhood.

So why are we confident?

Because we’re not playing pricing games.

At 598 Madrone Ave, we chose transparent pricing instead of an artificially low list price designed to spark a bidding war.

What you’ll find instead:

• Superior lot
• Higher-end finishes
• Better overall design and craftsmanship
• Fully finalized permits
• Detached ADU with flexibility for rental income, guests, or multigenerational living
• A home priced to reflect its true value—not to manufacture competition. (Redfin⁠)

If you’re touring homes this weekend, visit both.

Then decide which one you’d rather own.

The best value isn’t always the lowest list price. Sometimes it’s the home that delivers more—and tells you exactly what it costs.

So thankful to close out 2025 with by selling one of the most amazing Los Gatos estate properties to some very lucky buyers. Sitting on over 9 acres and featuring long-range views, an architectural gem of a house, stunning landscaping, and even a farm, this one will be hard to replicate. 2026 is already shaping up to be an exciting year and I can’t wait
