Stylish Turn-Key Home in a Prime West San Jose Neighborhood

First time on the market in 32 years and now updated with turn-key appeal, this home is newly painted in a rich designer hue with crisp white shutters and a welcoming front door, all set against a backdrop of manicured lawn and refreshed landscaping. Inside, new engineered hardwood floors unify the interiors, while recessed LED lighting and contemporary drum lights add modern touches throughout.
The single-level floor plan offers approximately 1,585 square feet with four bedrooms and two updated bathrooms. Plus, a bonus bedroom and a bonus room that combine for an additional 225 square feet. The total living space of this home offers approximately 1,810 square feet.
A spacious living room with expansive front window flows from the foyer, while the formal yet partially open dining room is defined by a striking lotus flower pendant light. The open kitchen has been thoughtfully remodeled with white cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a full-height backsplash, complemented by a complete suite of stainless steel GE appliances. The adjoining family room, enhanced by a solar tube skylight and a natural brick fireplace wall, creates an ideal gathering space fully connected to the kitchen. An adjacent office nook, with built-in shelves and direct rear yard access, expands the home’s versatility.

The highlight of the separate bedroom wing is the primary suite, which features a designer accent wall, two closets, and an updated en suite bath. The additional three bedrooms are served by a stylish hallway bath with glass-enclosed tub and overhead shower.
Outdoor enjoyment unfolds in the private rear yard, which includes a level lawn, and a variety of fruit trees such as Fuji apple, Granny Smith, fig, and persimmon. Completing the appeal is the home’s excellent location just blocks from Westgate Shopping Center, Trader Joe’s, and Sprouts Farmers Market, with easy access to Highways 85 and 280, plus highly regarded schools including Moreland Middle School directly across the street.

Offered at $1,998,000

Neighborhood

San Jose, with a population approaching 1 million, stands as the Bay Area's largest city and California's third-largest metropolitan center. Founded in 1777, this historic city holds the distinction of being California's first civilian settlement and one of its earliest incorporated cities, having served as the state's first capital. Today, its vibrant economy and proximity to major technology companies make it a highly desirable location.

The city boasts comprehensive public transportation, served by Amtrak, Caltrain, and the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority, among others. The Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport provides convenient air travel access. Cultural attractions include the Children's Discovery Museum, the San Jose Museum of Art, The Tech Museum of Innovation, and the Steam Railroad Museum. Sports enthusiasts enjoy following local teams including the NHL's Sharks, MLS's Earthquakes, the minor-league Giants baseball club, and the NFL's 49ers in neighboring Santa Clara. The upscale Santana Row district continues to thrive as a premier shopping and dining destination.
