Property is move-in ready.
While originally built in 1948, the property has undergone a comprehensive high-end renovation likely within the last 10-15 years. The chef's kitchen features granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, and the bathrooms are well-maintained with traditional stone finishes. The home is move-in ready with modern architectural elements like 28-ft ceilings and updated systems, though the aesthetic style suggests the renovation is not within the last 5 years.
The home features dramatic 28-foot soaring ceilings, a curved staircase with custom wrought iron, and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows that create a bright, high-end luxury atmosphere.
The backyard serves as a private oasis with a full granite outdoor kitchen, built-in BBQ, and gas firepit, all set against serene, lush views of Los Gatos Creek.
Situated in the prestigious Palm Haven neighborhood, the property offers a perfect blend of historic charm and modern luxury, just blocks from the vibrant dining and community events of downtown Willow Glen.
At under 5,000 square feet, the lot is relatively small for a nearly $2.8M price point, which may limit yard space for families or those seeking significant privacy between neighbors.
The immediate assigned public elementary and middle schools have lower performance ratings (4 and 3 respectively), which may be a deterrent for education-focused buyers in this luxury bracket.
