23 Linden Drive, Santa Clara, CA



Welcome to 23 Linden Drive, Santa Clara, CA 95050. This home recently came on the market in the South Bay (SF Bay Area), sold in a matter of weeks and went pending, but unfortunately the deal fell through and the house is now back on the market and available.

This 2520 square foot home with 3 bedrooms, 3 baths was built in 1948. It has the possibility of converting two bonus rooms to bedrooms by adding closets (more on that in a future post). It's on a large 8,247 square foot lot and has been extensively remodeled. I'll go through in separate posts the different changes that have been done to this house, as well as talk about some of the reports available, so that you have all the information you need if you're interested in purchasing this home.

This home is located in the south east corner of Santa Clara near the Rose Garden section of San Jose. Because it's a city of Santa Clara home, the house does have Santa Clara utilities (renowned for being extremely low cost) and services, and is in the Santa Clara Unified School District. (You do need to be careful here, because many homes in the city of Santa Clara, specifically those south of Pruneridge and east of San Tomas Expressway are in the Campbell Union school district and not Santa Clara Unified. The home owners in that area recently petitioned to move to Santa Clara, but were turned down.) Specifically this home has a home elementary school of Westwood Elementary. But if you look at a map you'll notice that Washington Open Elementary is within walking distance. Washington is one of the best rated schools in Santa Clara, and is what's referred to as a "lottery" school, meaning anyone living in Santa Clara Unified's boundaries can enter a lottery to get their kids enrolled here.

I'll explore more on the school situation and other topics in this blog. You may get more information than you'd ever expect. But the way I look at it, an informed buyer, is the best buyer.
