Take a sneak peek at this end unit townhome with an uncommonly spacious backyard close to the diverse and dynamic culture of Downtown Mountain View. It’s the perfect combination of private getaway and centralized location, surrounded by great school districts and major tech companies, some of which are within walking — or bicycling — distance, including Google, Samsung, LinkedIn, Symantec, and NASA.
With the Stevens Creek Trail and Shoreline Lake and Golf Links nearby, there’s plenty of opportunity to connect with nature and stay fit. And Shoreline Amphitheatre is always a destination for the best live music. Relax in the clubhouse, take a lap in the pool, or lay out and enjoy the backyard paradise we created for our clients. We’re really happy with how the home turned out after new painting, clearing, light fixtures, and planting, and we hope you’ll like it, too!

In honor of Presidents Day, we ask the age-old question: If you could ask any U.S. President to assist with your home renovation, who would it be?
For me, it’s an easy decision. I would go with John F. Kennedy, but not for him, for his wife. Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was an icon of style and my favorite First Lady of all time. She made the White House into her own by leaning into color and pattern, breathing new life into an old, stodgy building. I would love to have her help when I redesign my dream home!
There’s only one answer here, and it’s Teddy Roosevelt. T.R. liked to speak softly and carry a big stick, and that’s exactly the kind of person you need in charge of any major home project. With costs soaring and workflows in flux, it’s absolutely critical to have someone at the helm looking out for your bottom line and making sure things get done on time!

At a recent economic seminar with the Silicon Valley Association of Realtors (SILVAR), we learned about changes to real estate law beginning January 1st. We’ll have a full update next week, but in the meantime, let’s focus on four new policies…
Under current law, you’re allowed to build an ADU (aka Accessory Dwelling Unit) based on your lot size and zoning regulations in your particular city. Starting in the coming year, you’ll be able to sell an ADU with your lender’s consent and other additional restrictions. Even better, the limit for small real estate claims will jump from $10,000 to $12,050!
Starting next year, the environmental hazard information you receive from realtors will have new additions about sea level rise, wildfires, and climate change. Also, if a home has been owned for less than 18 months and has a major renovation, the seller not only has to disclose the changes they made and contacts of subcontractors but also the status of all permits.
