Despite being built in 1968, this property has undergone extensive and high-quality renovations, particularly evident in the 'updated chef’s kitchen' which features new contemporary lighting, painted white cabinetry, granite counters, and high-end stainless steel appliances (Viking range, Samsung refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, new wine cooler). The interior boasts fresh paint, crown molding, skylights, plantation shutters, and hardwood floors throughout, indicating a very recent and comprehensive update. The primary suite is described as 'luxurious,' and while some bathrooms feature wainscot tile, they appear well-maintained and updated. The overall aesthetic and listed features suggest the property has been extensively renovated within the last 5 years, bringing all major visible components to a virtually new and modern standard, aligning with the 'Excellent' criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Multigenerational Living Potential: The expansive two-level home offers an ideal floorplan for multigenerational living with up to 9 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms, including multiple en-suites and a large bonus room with a wet bar.
Prime Silicon Valley Location & Accessibility: Strategically located within a mile of K-12 schools, NVIDIA, Santa Clara University, the airport, and Levi’s Stadium, with easy access to Highways 84 and 101 for convenient commuting across Silicon Valley.
Luxurious & Updated Chef's Kitchen: The updated chef’s kitchen features granite counters, a peninsula island, high-end stainless steel appliances including a Viking 6-burner range, Samsung refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, and a 30+ bottle wine cooler.
Extensive Interior Upgrades & Modern Amenities: The home boasts numerous desirable features such as hardwood floors, fresh interior paint, crown molding, skylights, plantation shutters, built-ins, a light-filled interior, a luxurious oversized primary suite with a walk-in closet, and central AC.
Well-Appointed Outdoor Living Space: An inviting backyard provides a private retreat with a Trex deck, garden beds, a lawn, a redwood grove, and fruit trees, enhancing outdoor enjoyment and curb appeal.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 9, other record bedroom count = 5.
Original Construction Age: Built in 1968, the property's underlying structure is over 50 years old, which may lead to concerns about older systems (plumbing, electrical) or require more significant maintenance over time, despite recent cosmetic updates.
Niche Market for High Bedroom Count: While ideal for multigenerational living, the 'up to 9 bedrooms' configuration is highly specific and may appeal to a narrower segment of buyers compared to homes with a more conventional bedroom count, potentially affecting market velocity.
Lack of Defined Subdivision Identity: Being listed under 'Other' for subdivision name means the property does not benefit from the established reputation, specific amenities, or community identity often associated with named neighborhoods, which can sometimes be a draw for buyers.
