Despite being built in 1996, the property's description highlights a 'gourmet kitchen' boasting a high-end 'La Cornue range' and a 'spa-like bathroom,' along with 'gleaming Italian white marble floors' and an 'exquisite crystal chandelier.' These features strongly suggest either a very recent, extensive, and high-quality renovation of key areas (kitchen and bathrooms) within the last 5 years, or original construction of such timeless luxury that it meets current quality standards with virtually new components. The overall impression is one of meticulous maintenance and modern, top-tier finishes, indicating no deferred maintenance and minimal physical depreciation.

Gourmet Kitchen: Features a high-end gourmet kitchen equipped with a La Cornue range, ideal for both intimate family meals and large-scale entertaining, appealing to culinary enthusiasts.
Resort-Style Outdoor Living: The exterior offers a private resort-like experience with a spacious patio perfect for alfresco dining, a custom brick barbecue and pizza oven, and a sparkling pool, promoting exceptional indoor-outdoor living.
Prime Location & Top Schools: Situated on a tranquil street in Monte Sereno, within walking distance to Daves Avenue Elementary and close to top-rated Los Gatos schools, with easy access to major commuter routes (Highways 9 & 17) and vibrant downtown areas of Los Gatos and Saratoga.
Expansive & Functional Layout: An expansive 6,110 sqft home on a generous 42,688 sqft lot, featuring four spacious bedrooms including two luxurious en-suites and a primary suite with a spa-like bathroom, providing ample space and comfort.

Cons

Price History & Valuation Discrepancy: The property has undergone a significant price reduction from its original list price of nearly $10M to $8.48M, and the current listing price remains 7% above the estimated market value, potentially indicating market resistance or overpricing.
Niche Architectural Style: The 'palatial Italian estate' aesthetic, while luxurious, caters to a specific taste and might limit the pool of potential buyers compared to more universally appealing contemporary designs.
Potential for Dated Systems: Built in 1996, the description emphasizes aesthetic luxury but does not explicitly mention modern infrastructure updates such as advanced HVAC systems (e.g., central AC), smart home technology, or energy efficiency upgrades, which could be a consideration for some luxury buyers.
