When the Santiago and Taylor families decided to combine their resources and buy a home that they all could call “ home ”, they could not find a house that would meet all their needs . On the advice of local Realtor , Patty Filice , they decided to look at some custom lots in Gilroy . The result is this three-generation home with over 4800 square feet on three major levels . It has views stretching in three directions . There are two master suites , a guest bedroom and two bedrooms with a shared bath for the girls . The kitchen is spacious with two islands allowing for multiple activities . Alcoves , stained glass and balconies enhance the views and appointments . In the planning process , all of the adults chose a special element . Burga wanted a study to house her books , complete with a cozy fireplace . Doug had his heart set on a full service bar
