Welcome to a truly magical home in the heart of Los Gatos, where custom shingle-style architecture meets modern luxury, offering spectacular canyon, hill, and city views. This stunning 2,460-square-foot residence features four bedrooms and three bathrooms, with a spacious, light-filled, open-concept floor plan.
The chef's kitchen is a dream with custom cherrywood cabinets, granite countertops, a gas cooktop, and an island with a breakfast bar. It flows into the living and dining areas, which are highlighted by soaring ceilings, hardwood floors, and two fireplaces.
The primary suite is a true retreat, complete with a private balcony, walk-in closet, and a spa-like bathroom with a jetted tub. A convenient bedroom and full bath on the first floor, a bonus room, and an upper-floor laundry area add to the home's functional design.
Enjoy comfort and efficiency with central heating and AC, double-pane windows, motorized skylights, and an owned solar power system with Tesla battery backups. The oversized two-car garage provides extra storage and an outdoor hot tub offers a perfect place to unwind while enjoying the peaceful canyon views.
Located in the acclaimed Los Gatos School District, this home is just minutes from downtown shops, dining, parks, trails and major freeways.
