About this home

Transform $1.7M into $2.4M+ - Steps from Santana Row. Positioned in one of Silicon Valleys most coveted and walkable enclaves, this 1,470 sq. ft. remodeled residence on Kirkwood Drive offers a rare combination of luxury, lifestyle, and long-term upside. Priced at $1,700,000, it delivers the best of both worlds: refined comfort today and a clear path to substantial equity growth tomorrow. Recently renovated throughout, the home features luxury waterproof flooring made in Germany, stone slab countertops, new stainless steel appliances, and a freshly remodeled bathroom with designer finishes. Additional upgrades include new recessed lighting, interior and exterior paint, a one-year-old heating system with new ducting, and a sealed driveway for lasting curb appeal. With preliminary architectural plans to expand into a 2,060 sq. ft. four-bedroom home, the propertys projected post-expansion value is estimated between $2.4M and $2.5M - representing nearly $500,000 in potential profit. Set on a 7,400 sq. ft. lot with a detached 2+ car garage and workshop, and located steps from a new park and the upcoming pedestrian link to Santana Row (Dec. 2025), this is a rare opportunity to pair lifestyle with leverage...... live beautifully today, grow your equity tomorrow.

The description explicitly states 'recently renovated throughout' with 'luxury waterproof flooring,' 'stone slab countertops,' 'new stainless steel appliances,' and a 'freshly remodeled bathroom with designer finishes.' Images confirm a modern kitchen with white shaker cabinets, new appliances, and sleek countertops, along with a contemporary bathroom featuring subway tile and a modern vanity.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & Walkability: Positioned in one of Silicon Valley's most coveted and walkable enclaves, steps from Santana Row, offering unparalleled lifestyle convenience and desirability.
Significant Equity Growth Potential: Preliminary architectural plans for expansion to 2,060 sq. ft. project a post-expansion value of $2.4M-$2.5M, indicating substantial potential profit and equity growth.
Extensive Recent Renovations: Recently renovated throughout with luxury waterproof flooring, stone slab countertops, new stainless steel appliances, a remodeled bathroom, recessed lighting, and fresh paint.
Future Amenity Enhancement: Proximity to a new park and an upcoming pedestrian link to Santana Row (Dec. 2025) will further enhance lifestyle and property value.
Generous Lot & Detached Garage: Features a spacious 7,400 sq. ft. lot with a valuable detached 2+ car garage and workshop, offering versatility and additional utility.

Cons

Current Limited Layout: The current configuration of 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom is relatively small for the price point in Silicon Valley, requiring the planned expansion to maximize value and utility.
Age of Original Structure: Built in 1940, the property's original structure is older, which could lead to potential unforeseen maintenance or infrastructure costs not covered by recent cosmetic renovations.
Required Capital for Expansion: Realizing the significant equity growth potential necessitates substantial additional capital investment and project management for the planned 600 sq. ft. expansion.
