But the really cool thing about this house? It dissects Cherry Avenue, literally barricading the street as it flows south through WG:

Technically, it’s 1375 Dry Creek Road. This famous house that physically splits Cherry Avenue into two completely non-contiguous parts can be yours for only $1,179,000.

Cherry runs from Los Gatos Creek (north of Willow Street) all the way to Almaden Expressway … but it’s broken into two pieces, never reaching Dry Creek Road.

In the name of equity, Dry Creek is also split into two parts, with its own deadend at this intersection, too.

Perhaps this house could be considered the “Heart of Willow Glen” … or perhaps its geographical center?

The Willow Glen Neighborhood Association (WGNA) was formed in 1973 by concerned citizens of Willow Glen who volunteered to represent citizens on issues of neighborhood enhancement and preservation

Kris Cunningham reflected on this history when the WGNA marked its 25th Anniversary ten years ago:

In May, the Willow Glen Neighborhood Association will be a quarter of a century old! I remember with fondness those feisty women who dared to challenge what was “meant to be”. The plan was to push Cherry Avenue from Race Street through to the Almaden Valley - the greater good of moving the many demanded it! At the time, my husband and I were a young (very young) couple, we were expecting our first child and had just bought our first home, a home that sat on Cherry Avenue. Needless to say, we like many other Willow Glen residents, are thankful for an organization like WGNA that has helped to enhance and preserve our neighborhood throughout the years. I am particularly thankful that, because our community banded together, I did not have to raise three boys on an expressway!
