💫 SOLD | $2,300,000 | WILLOW GLEN 💫
A Little House. A Big Piece of Land. Set on a nearly 15,000 SF parcel, this property offered a rare chance to think big in Willow Glen. Built in 1927, the little house originally served as the sales office for the Lincoln Half Acres subdivision. The current owner’s grandparents purchased the property in 1941, raised their family here, and it remained in the family for 85 years. For generations, this wasn’t a development opportunity. It was simply home.
And there is something undeniably somber about knowing what will most likely come next. But the little house has most likely reached the end of its useful life. Its bones are tired. Its skin is worn. After nearly a century, it is probably time to let it rest. But the setting remains. The land remains. The light, the trees, the sense of space. All of that carries forward. What comes next won’t erase the life that happened here. In a way, it will continue it. A new home will rise, a new family will arrive, and this same piece of Willow Glen will once again become the backdrop for birthdays, dinners, ordinary Tuesdays, children growing up and decades quietly passing.
I’m incredibly happy for my sellers as they close a chapter that began with their family more than eight decades ago.
