Text the number in the pictures to schedule your time slot. Welcome! This brand new, private, and bright *furnished* 500 sq ft one-bedroom unit is tucked in the back yard of a home in a classic Mountain View neighborhood, and only 10 minutes' walk from bustling downtown. With light walls, bright lights, comfy furnishings, tasteful decorations, and a fully stocked kitchen with modern appliances, it's ready for you to move in -- just bring your suitcases! Near to major local tech employers, and only 15 minutes from Stanford! Access to this delightful and tranquil back yard unit is via the front home's driveway, through a private gate, then a short private walkway. Your first impression on entering will be how new, cozy, bright, and welcoming the home is. The first room is the combined living area, kitchen, and dining area. The couch, accompanied by a side ottoman and a coffee table, is a great place to hang out on or watch TV. The kitchen has a dishwasher, stove, oven, fridge, and microwave, as well as all the kitchenware you'd ever need. The countertops are glisteningly bright, and there is ample cupboard space. Moving to the bedroom, you'll see a comfy queen-sized bed with end tables, a study desk. The closet, with plenty of space for your clothes and other belongings, also has extra bedding, a chest of drawers, an iron, and ironing board. The bathroom is bright, with a modern look and feel, and a glass-enclosed shower. Outside the bedroom, separated by a sliding glass door with louvered shutters, is the back patio, with comfy furniture, including chairs, a swinging chair, and a big umbrella. You have sole and complete access to the unit. You might see the owners, who live in the front home, as you go down the driveway to enter, but once inside, you'll have complete privacy from them, including on the back patio. This home is located in the Shoreline West neighborhood and is often considered part of Old Mountain View. It takes only 10 minutes to walk to bustling Castro street, with its myriad of varied restaurants and coffee shops, along with a high-end grocery store, some great pubs, a classic bookstore, a wine bar, and even a tiny locksmith museum! At the end of Castro street is the train station. Also nearby is Eagle Park, with a massive grassy field where you'll often see kids practicing soccer, people playing frisbee, or dogs frolicking. Eagle Park also has a public pool. A 15 minute walk in the other direction gets you to Rengstorff park, which has a public pool that's even nicer than the one at Eagle Park! It's near to major thoroughfares like El Camino Real and Shoreline, highways 101 and 85 are just a five minute drive, and highway 280 is a ten minute drive. Also just a few minutes' drive is the San Antonio shopping center, where you'll find a Trader Joes, Safeway, 24 hour fitness, and a great selection of medium-and-high-end restaurants. Just 15 minutes' walk away there's a train station (at the end of Castro street) from which you can hop on a Caltrain to get to San Jose in 20 minutes and San Francisco in 45-70 minutes, depending on the time of day. We refer to the faster trains as "bullet trains" -- but that's a big exaggeration, since they're nothing like the bullet trains in Japan, China, Europe, etc! But at least they're faster than they used to be. You can also catch VTA trains from that same station, which gets you all around San Jose and the South Bay. El Camino Real, about a five minute walk, has a pretty regular bus service that takes you north to Stanford, and south all the way to San Jose. As of 8/1/25, we haven't yet installed the washer/dryer or the heating/cooling system, but they will be done before anybody moves in. You'll have complete privacy. The property manager lives right around the block, so we can attend to any issues immediately.
