First time on the market after decades in the same family, no detail ignored in this uncommonly palatial retreat on an exceptionally wide 0.22 acre double lot in the heart of Santa Clara. Walk up to the stately entry and step through the oversized iron entry doors and youll immediately sense this home is different and special. With a sprawling floor plan featuring newly-installed modern hardwood flooring throughout, an expansive great room with upscale French doors leading to seating areas both front and back, an oversized chefs kitchen with high-end built-in Monogram appliances, a formal living room with coffered ceilings and gas burning fireplace, three ground floor bedrooms and bathrooms (including a large en suite ideal for multigenerational living), and a second colossal master suite encompassing the entire top floor, the interior lives up to the expectations set by the home's prominent exterior facade with stone accents. The oversized garage with a large attached bonus room and the wide backyard, with a patio beneath an imposing canopy of mature trees, offers a surplus of storage and outdoor space (not to mention, affordable Santa Clara utilities), just minutes from the South Bay's largest employers, commute routes, and finest amenities (Santana Row, Valley Fair, etc).
