The home’s open layout offers crisp architectural lines, a welcoming flow, and a bright, modern atmosphere.
Outside, both the front and back yards are designed for easy, low-maintenance living with brick and mulch accents, drought-tolerant landscaping, and hardy plants. A mature kumquat tree provides seasonal fruit and carries cultural symbolism of good fortune, prosperity, and longevity.

This central Silicon Valley location puts you close to major employers such as eBay, Adobe, NVIDIA, Zoom, Xilinx, and PayPal, as well as shopping and entertainment at Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, SAP Center, PayPal Park, The Tech Museum, Cesar Chavez Plaza (with winter ice skating), and the Children’s Discovery Museum—home to San Jose’s annual 4th of July fireworks.
