122 Johnson Avenue

Fall in love with this quintessential, Victorian home that blends the historic character and period details of a classic Queen Anne architecture with the modern features and proportions expected of today’s accomplished individuals. Raised circa 1880, this historic home began its journey in the first small segment of land representing the initial incorporation of the Town of Los Gatos in 1880. It was lovingly cared for and eventually first expanded in the 1950s.

With renowned architect, Tom Sloan, and Bonsai Builder Construction, the current owner undertook the monumental task of completely reconstructing the home to provide the space and amenities that successful families of Silicon Valley now demand. The metamorphosis spanned several years as the team worked to balance the character of the old while satisfying the modern demands. The result is new construction of over 3,000 square feet containing virtually anything you would expect in a newly-built home, but with an authentic Victorian façade that retained the period details that so wonderfully represent the history and charm of Los Gatos. Today, nearly 130 years later it sits, in its expanded grandeur. It is in one of the most coveted parts of town — a mere three blocks from the teeming life of a vibrant downtown — but worlds away in its secluded setting with expansive views of nature.
