Outdoor living space and Spanish architecture are among the features of the five residences on the 41st annual Willow Glen Home Tour on May 3-4.
As ever, the event benefits the San Jose Day Nursery (SJDN), a nonprofit early learning center founded in 1916 in downtown San Jose. Funds raised from the tour will enhance SJDN programs and provide scholarships for children of low-income working parents.
Each home on the self-guided tour is no more than a five-minute drive from the next. Docents will be on site at each home to answer questions.
This year’s tour features:
• A traditional Willow Glen home with an outdoor living space for entertaining;
• A contemporary new build with custom touches;
• A two-story home with a park-like backyard;
• A modern Spanish home; and
• A home with decorator touches throughout.
One of the stops on the tour will serve as this year’s “garden home,” where attendees will be able to enjoy beverages and refreshments in a garden setting, mingle over complimentary wine tasting and purchase snacks and gift items from local vendors and artisans.
Tickets for the tour, set for 10 a.m.-4 p.m. on both days, are $50 in advance http://willowglenhometour.comat willowglenhometour.com or in person at D’Anna’s Florist, 1712 Meridian Ave., and Bella James, 1371 Lincoln Ave. Home addresses will be revealed after purchase of a ticket.
