What up my homies?! It’s yo girl Keelz here to welcome you back to SCU Cribs, where you can get the inside scoop on some of Santa Clara’s most luxurious, notorious, and victorious houses and apartments.

977 Bellomy Street just so happened to make our second edition of SCU Cribs. However, you might know this address as the highest and flyest of all the Clara, the chillest of all the sky, or the boxiest of all boxes (SKYBOX). Let’s take a look.   

 

Stairway

First of all, to even enter Skybox, we must take a journey up the outdoor stairway, or should I say, “Stairway to Heaven”?!  This stairway is adorned with some beautiful lights. Perhaps they are Christmas lights, but you know what the people at Skybox say, “The most wonderful time of year… is all the time.“

Balcony

We have increased our altitude tremendously by ascending the Stairway to Heaven, and have now made it to what triples as the balcony, the chic outdoor bar, and an avant-garde laundry room. You can put a load of laundry into the washing machine, fold your clothes on the bar, sip on a cool refreshing “beverage,” and enjoy the scenic view of Bellomy Street, all from outside! It really is the perfect combination, especially for the outdoorsy type. 

 

Living Room

Okay, we have finally entered the interior of the ever so grand Skybox. We are first greeted by Garth the Boar, who is dressed in business casual, because Skybox is obviously a classy establishment. Soon after, we are greeted by Hemingway the Swordfish, who “scales” the wall, if you know what I mean. Moving on, we approach the spacious and comfortable living room, where Skybox’s inhabitants can appreciate not only all of the exquisite works of art (not limited to Garth and Hemingway), but they can also appreciate each other! 

 

There are 6 Bedrooms and 2 Baths here at Skybox. One of the bathrooms even leads up to our next and final destination: the roof.

Roof

All you have to do is climb up a ladder through a tiny hole in the ceiling and POOF! You are soaking up the sun and automatically singing the words, “Sky high, I’m, I’m sky high” with my boy Kanye. The roof is the end of our tour, but it is hands down the best part. Living in the sky has its perks, but it also has its pups, which is why I would like to introduce you to the newest member of Skybox. Her name is Princess Priscilla, and she is Skybox’s reigning royalty.
