ATTACHMENT 2
Address changes:
Current home is noted on MLS as 18 Oak Hill Way. However, utility
companies (PG&E, Water, and Trash Services) still recognize the
property as 176 A Villa leading to the assumption this structure was
once part of the 176 Villa property.
Per the Santa Clara County Residential Unit Property Record, you can
see the address noted is 176 Villa.
Per the Land Value Computations document provided by Santa Clara
County Accessors office the address associated to the APN is 18 Oak Hill
Way.
It is believed that the structure in question was not ever the primary
dwelling and the primary dwelling was visible from the street Villa.
Currently at 176 Villa is a new home that was never part of the historic
inventory and was remodeled in 2001.
PGE Statement shows 176 Villa Ave #A address.
