Despite being built in 1969, this property has clearly undergone extensive and high-quality renovations, bringing it to modern standards. The description highlights 'modern tranquil villa retreat,' 'luxurious bathrooms,' and a 'gorgeous chefs kitchen,' all of which are strongly supported by the images. The kitchen features high-end stainless steel appliances (built-in refrigerator, double ovens, gas stovetop with professional hood, dishwasher), granite countertops, and well-maintained wood cabinetry. The bathrooms showcase contemporary fixtures, modern vanities, and clean tiling. Throughout the home, oak floors are in excellent condition, and the exposed wood beam ceilings, fresh paint, and updated light fixtures contribute to a cohesive and modern aesthetic. There is no visible deferred maintenance, and all components appear new or virtually new, aligning perfectly with the 'Excellent' criteria for a recently renovated property.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Multi-Generational Living & Income Potential: The property offers exceptional flexibility with multi-family possibilities, including a separate lower-level 1 bed/1 bath unit, a finished ADU, and potential for a second ADU, ideal for extended family, guests, or rental income.
Luxurious & Modern Interior Design: Showcasing a 'modern tranquil villa retreat' ambiance with stunning tall wood beam ceilings, oak floors, generous windows, French doors, and a 'gorgeous chefs kitchen' equipped with high-end appliances like a built-in refrigerator, gas stovetop, and double ovens.
Expansive & Diverse Outdoor Oasis: A true private oasis featuring an entertainment area with BBQ, fire pit, and hot tub, sunning patios, a 540 sqft guest house with a barn, extensive raised bed gardens, numerous fruit trees, and a private trail leading to a redwood forest with a fairy ring.
Desirable Los Gatos Hills Location with Views: Nestled in the prestigious Los Gatos Hills, the property offers tranquility, 'Canyon, Mountain(s)' views, and access to highly-rated schools including Loma Prieta/CT English & Los Gatos High.
Spacious & Functional Floor Plan: The home boasts a 'breezy floor plan' with large, inviting family and living rooms, complete with fireplaces and seamless indoor-outdoor connection through French doors, perfect for entertaining and comfortable living.

Cons

Age of Core Structure: Built in 1969, the property's underlying systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) may be original or require significant updates in the near future, potentially leading to unforeseen maintenance costs despite cosmetic modernizations.
Extensive Grounds Maintenance: The vast lot (over 7 acres) with diverse landscaping, including fruit orchards and a redwood forest, demands substantial ongoing maintenance, which could be a significant time commitment or financial burden for a buyer.
Summit Location Accessibility: While offering privacy and views, a 'summit location' on Old Santa Cruz Highway typically implies a longer, winding drive to reach essential services, schools, and major transportation arteries, which may not appeal to all buyers seeking quick urban access.
