About This Home
What a lot! This comprehensively remodeled home sits on an exceptionally deep and wide nearly-quarter-acre lot in West San Joses scenic and low-density Eden neighborhood, just minutes from the 280, 880 and San Tomas and less than 0.7 miles from Santana Row. Professionally landscaped and meticulously maintained, not only is there plenty of space for significant expansion or ADU construction, and space for outdoor dining, entertainment, or relaxation, thanks to an uncommonly wide back patio shaded by two majestic pergolas plus a separate hardscaped and scenically landscaped island tucked in the far rear of the backyard. Parking is plentiful, with a detached garage (with adjoining workshop), long side driveway (ideal for RV or boat parking), and a circular driveway as well. Held by the same family for over half a century, pride of ownership is equally evident inside, with its centerpiece a newly remodeled chefs kitchen with industrial grade exhaust hood, new oak cabinetry, natural stone countertops, and stainless appliances plus Andersen French doors leading to the backyard paradise. Both bathrooms are newly remodeled with designer-selected finishes and sleek solid porcelain shower enclosures for minimalist luxury without grout lines.
