Remarks

No detail ignored in this comprehensively-remodeled, move-in ready luxury home in the heart of one of Santa Clara's most coveted neighborhoods, Killarney Farms, a short walk from one its most coveted schools, Sutter Elementary, and a short bike ride from Apple. Continuously improved by the same owners for nearly three decades, there are simply too many upgrades to list, including an expansive gourmet eat-in chef's kitchen with custom cabinetry & high-end appliances. Step inside the permitted living room addition to vaulted 12-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, gas fireplace with custom stonework, and slider to the sunlit atrium. Three remodeled FULL baths (with two en-suites), the master features a floor-to-ceiling tiled shower with seating, a spacious dual sink vanity, and a custom-built walk-in closet. A separate family room ensures ample space for larger families or those with remote work demands and includes a second fireplace and oversized patio slider. Meticulous inside and out, the intuitive, expanded floor plan flows seamlessly into the backyard with a professionally-designed patio hardscape, artificial grass, a hot tub privately nestled off the master, custom deck, raised garden beds with drip irrigation, and California native plants both front and back.
