San Jose, CA 95126 773 Asbury ST

Located in one of San Jose's oldest neighborhoods, where the trees arch over the sidewalks like old friends, there's a house that seems to exhale warmth. Throughout the day, sunlight spills through tall southwest-facing windows, dancing across hardwood floors and warming every corner. The open kitchen, featuring Bertazzoni appliances, feels made for pancake mornings and after-school stories. A wrought iron spiral staircase winds its way to a finished loft; a place that has been, at different times, a cozy reading nook, a sleepover hideout, and a quiet space to dream. The bathroom glows with brass fixtures gathered from Morocco, warm to the touch and full of history. And though you may not notice them right away, the thoughtful updates like copper plumbing, double-pane windows, and a tankless water heater are always there, quietly working to keep the home just right. Outside, a vibrant garden hums with life; bees drifting lazily from bloom to bloom, while hummingbirds flicker through the air. This is not just a house. It's where bedtime stories are told under soft lamplight, where evening walks turn into impromptu chats with neighbors, where weekends are for backyard dinners and whispered goodnights. It's a place to grow roots, and to grow up.
