New single-family homes close to downtown Los Gatos and downtown Campbell Oak Tree Circle by Robson Homes is a new community of 25 luxury homes in Campbell, just a few minutes from Downtown Los Gatos. Robson Homes, a local builder known for their beautiful, well- appointed homes, is about halfway through with construction at Oak Tree Circle, their new neighborhood of 25 single-family homes in Campbell. The first homeowners have moved in, and two thirds of the homes are sold. "The neighborhood is really coming together beautifully," said Charles Baldwin, Director of Sales for the builder. "It's so wonderful to see all the elements of neighborhood design, landscaping and architecture come to life." It is becoming in- creasingly rare in Sili- con Valley to find new single-family home communities like Oak Tree Circle. In fact, Oak Tree is the only new community with tra- ditional style homes in all of Campbell and Los Gatos, and one of only a handful in the entire Bay Area. Five floor- plans are being built, each with four bed- rooms and three and a half or four bathrooms. The largest plan, The Rose, also features a one bedroom Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) above the detached ga- rage with full kitchen and bath. Square foot- ages range from 2,300 to 3,024 and current prices start from the mid $2 millions. Oak Tree Circle is located off of E Mozart Ave, tucked away be- hind a grove of heritage oak trees, which were painstakingly pre- served by the builder. "The neighborhood was designed around the magnificent oaks on the property," said Mark Robson, Presi- dent of Robson Homes. "They create this truly wonderful setting, something that you experience the mo- ment you drive into the neighborhood." In this secluded set- ting, Oak Tree Circle is still close and conve- nient to everything, in- cluding transportation, employment, shopping and recreation. It's just a short drive to down- town Campbell and downtown Los Gatos, and a short walk to the Los Gatos Creek Trail entrance on E Mozart Ave. The neighborhood is served by excellent Cambrian and Campbell schools. Oak Tree Circle's 25 new homes showcase an attractive blend of Cottage, Crafts- man and Farmhouse architectural styles. Between the five floor- plans and the numer- ous exterior styles, it truly feels like a neigh- borhood of custom homes. As with all Robson homes, the caliber and quality of the design, detail and finishes in the homes are top notch. Standout fea- tures include brick porches and coordi- nating driveway pav- ers, custom built-in cabinetry, Waterworks and Kohler plumbing fixtures, Wolf appli- ances, and French Oak hardwood floors. The homes are all electric with owned and in- cluded 4.20 to 5.95kW Low Profile Solar PVC systems for built- in energy and cost savings. The model home and sales office are open every day except Tues- day and Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Floorplans, features, a site map and more infor- mation are available on the builder's website at www.robsonhomes.com/ neighborhood/oak-tree- circle.

Pro- tecting such investments is important and re- quires that homeowners understand how to prop- erly maintain kitchen features so they have the longest life possible. This includes the countertops that make the kitchen look complete. Countertops come in various materials, not all of which should be treated the same way. Quartz, granite, marble, laminate, and tile coun- tertops require different types of maintenance. Quartz Engineered quartz countertops are popular. Quartz countertops are nearly maintenance-free and resistant to stains, scratches and even heat. Quartz will not need to be sealed like natural stone and can be cleaned using just a damp cloth with a mild, nonabrasive soap. Granite Polished or honed granite countertops offer a high-end look that adds instant value to a kitchen. Natural variations in granite give each kitchen a cus- tom look. To keep gran- ite countertops clean, avoid abrasive cleansers that can scratch, and opt for warm, soapy water instead. Stains are possible, but can be remedied with a bak- ing soda paste left to sit for a couple of hours, advises AngieÕs List. Wipe up oils, acids and soda promptly to avoid stains, and follow ad- vised sealing routines. Marble Marble is a natural stone that is porous and will need to be resealed periodically. Because marble has high levels of the mineral calcite, it can be reactive when acids come in contact with it, and etch marks may appear. Promptly wipe away tomato juice, lemon juice, perfume, or toothpaste. Marble is softer than granite and will wear at a faster rate. Avoid scratching and exercise caution when using knives or sharp objects around marble. Laminate One of the more budget-friendly materi- als, laminate counter- tops can be fabricated to mimic the look of natural stone, wood or even quartz. Laminate is less resistant to damage than other materials and will need a gentle touch. Formica¨ says to never use abrasive cleansers, scouring pads or steel wool when cleaning laminate countertops. For tough stains, an all- purpose cleaner should suffice when applied with a nylon-bristled brush. Test any cleanser in a discreet area first. Tile Cleaning tile coun- tertops requires getting into crevices along the grout lines. A tooth- brush and a mildew- fighting cleaner or bleach diluted with water is advised. Also, unglazed tiles need to be sealed yearly. Some soap may leave residue, which can be removed with a solution of vin- egar and water. Check with the man- ufacturer or installer of the countertops to learn more about the ways to clean and maintain new counters.
