Welcome to 1986 Cottle Avenue, a beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom single-level home nestled in the heart of San Jose’s desirable Willow Glen neighborhood. With two spacious ensuite bedrooms—each featuring walk-in closets with custom built-ins—this thoughtfully designed home offers comfort, charm, and flexibility for modern living.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll be greeted by irresistible curb appeal: blooming yellow roses at the entry and a charming wood gate and fence that frame the front of the property. Solar-powered lights along the roofline add a warm, welcoming glow in the evenings.
Inside, enjoy timeless hardwood floors, crown molding, recessed lighting, custom window shutters throughout, and central A/C for year-round comfort. The updated kitchen with gas range opens to the living area and is complemented by a formal dining room and two separate living rooms—perfect for entertaining or everyday relaxation.
The second living area, just off the dining room, features stylish French doors that open to the back patio, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. In the rear primary suite, another set of French doors leads directly to the garden, offering a peaceful private retreat.
The low-maintenance backyard is beautifully landscaped with fruit-bearing orange and pomegranate trees, turf, a shaded patio with a sail canopy, and ample space to relax or host guests. A doggie door and ramp make this home especially pet-friendly.
An indoor utility room adds convenience, complete with washer, dryer, built-in cabinetry, and a folding station.
The detached and converted 400 sq ft. garage—with skylight, custom built-ins, and wall-mounted A/C—offers endless possibilities as a home office, gym, creative studio, or playroom.
Ideally located near Booksin Elementary, Willow Glen Middle and High School, Downtown Willow Glen, and major freeways, 1986 Cottle Avenue is a true gem in one of San Jose’s most beloved neighborhoods.
