About this home

This one has the WOW factor and then some. Gorgeous single-story home in a dream-like, tree-lined Cambrian neighborhood that feels private, yet puts you just minutes from great schools, shopping, and your favorite weekend food spots. The heart of the home is the chefs kitchen, with a massive island wrapped in sleek white waterfall countertops where recipes turn into unforgettable meals. The open floor plan seamlessly connects the kitchen, dining, and living areas, making it easy to cook, dine, and relax in one inviting space. When you need a little more room to spread out, the enclosed patio offers a versatile retreat with its own split A/C unit - perfect for a rec room, home office, or private guest suite. Now, the backyard: truly an entertainers dream. It is in a league of its own. Stamped concrete, vibrant turf, and a collection of fruit trees make it both stunning and low-maintenance. Ambient lighting sets the mood as the sun goes down. Fire up the grill in your fully equipped outdoor kitchen, complete with storage cabinets, counter space, and sink. Then gather under the gazebo and around the fire-pit for long, cozy conversations beneath the stars. Every detail is dialed-in and ready to go. This is the kind of home that makes every day feel like a staycation. Dont miss it!

Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Outdoor Entertainment Area: The backyard is highlighted as an 'entertainers dream' featuring stamped concrete, vibrant turf, fruit trees, ambient lighting, a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with storage, counter space, and sink, plus a gazebo and fire-pit, making it stunning and low-maintenance.
Modern Chef's Kitchen & Open Floor Plan: The heart of the home is a chef's kitchen with a massive island wrapped in sleek white waterfall countertops, seamlessly connected to the dining and living areas through an open floor plan, ideal for modern living and entertaining.
Versatile Enclosed Patio: An enclosed patio with its own split A/C unit offers a highly versatile retreat, perfect for use as a rec room, home office, or private guest suite, adding valuable functional space.
Desirable Neighborhood & Convenient Location: Located in a 'dream-like, tree-lined Cambrian neighborhood' that feels private, yet provides quick access to great schools, shopping, and popular food spots, enhancing lifestyle and convenience.
Move-in Ready Condition: The property is described as having 'every detail dialed-in and ready to go,' suggesting a turn-key home that requires minimal immediate investment or work from the buyer.

Cons

Older Construction Year: Built in 1960, the property's underlying structure is over 60 years old, which may raise concerns about the condition of original systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, foundation) if not explicitly updated throughout.
Modest Interior Square Footage: With 1475 sqft, the interior living space is relatively modest for a single-family home in San Jose, especially given the high list price, which might be a consideration for buyers seeking more expansive interiors.
Lack of Detail on Major System Updates: While cosmetic and outdoor features are extensively detailed, the description lacks specific information regarding updates to critical home systems such as the roof, main HVAC, or electrical panel, which could be a concern for a home of this age.
