The open-concept floor plan features hardwood floors, natural light, and seamless flow for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen, with its large island and walk-in pantry, adjoins a comfortable family room with a cozy fireplace. Upstairs, the generous primary suite is filled with light and offers a walk in closet, an additional closet and a bright bath with soaking tub and dual sinks. Two additional bedrooms and a flexible bonus room upstairs provide space for kids, work, guests, or creativity. Enjoy a private backyard, owned solar panels, dual-pane windows, laundry room, and a two-car tandem garage with Level 2 EV charging and overhead storage. Just moments from The Children's Discovery Museum, galleries, theaters, restaurants, farmers markets, festivals, and walking trails, this rare single-family home offers the best of San Jose's exciting downtown vibrancy.
