Looking for a home that you can truly make your own? Come visit this diamond in the rough. It is a rare, great deal - a jewel of a home, priced to sell, in a wonderfully quiet and established neighborhood.

Conveniently located in the pleasant Loma Mar neighborhood of Mountain View, this home has all the amenities of a neighborhood, as well as being close to the places you need to go. Here, you're near transportation at the San Antonio CalTrain station, shopping at Trader Joe's, Costco, and Target, a wonderful variety of dining venues on Castro Street and fun playtime at the wonderfully large Rengstorff park.

The neighborhood is great but it it's the sweet 4 bedroom and 2 bathroom home that will win you over. Gently used and loved through the years, this contemporary home is ready for you to make into your own castle. Nestled on a quiet U-shaped, horseshoe street, it is surrounded by mature landscaping that will become your own little park.

Step inside and you're in a large room with an open floor plan that makes the home seem much bigger than it is. The large living room features a picture window that gives lots of light to brighten all the activities it encompasses. This room is the heart of the house and features a wood-burning brick fireplace that completes the rustic look suggested by the 9 1/2-foot tall, large-beamed wood-slat ceiling running throughout the home. This is a great place to have a fire on a cold winter's day.

Follow the brand-new carpeting over to the kitchen and breakfast room and look out the sliding glass doors into the covered patio. This home's set-up makes entertaining easy. Imagine some bistro chairs and food-laden tables on the patio and think of the fun you, family and friends can have there. The kitchen is ready to cook-up a feast with updated, matching white appliances including a self-cleaning oven, dishwasher, and electric stove with hood. The breakfast bar separates the kitchen from the adjoining breakfast room. Beyond the breakfast room is a space that can either be a formal dining room or a great place to set up a library or home office. This home is full of possibilities.

The generous master bedroom suite has a luxurious attached bath and more soaring beamed ceilings. Best of all, the master bedroom has a floor-to-ceiling picture window next to a windowed garden door, both overlooking the garden. With all those windows, you'll easily be enticed outside to enjoy the mature lemon tree's spicy-sweet aroma and sour fruit. Gardeners and garden-lovers will love living in that room. As an added touch, the other two bedrooms also have the tall, beamed ceilings and lovely bright light streaming through their windows.

The hallway provides room for storage with a double, honey-blond wood sliding closet. There's also more room for storage and hook-ups for laundry in the two-car garage, just off the kitchen. Speaking of cars, this home's great location close to the boundaries of Palo Alto, Los Altos and Mountain View also offers easy access to Central Expressway, and Highways 237 and 101.

Residents will be eligible to attend the Mountain View Schools, including Mountain View High, Crittendon Middle and Loma Mar Elementary Schools.
