Classic mid-century style takes center stage in this gem set on a large lot. Vaulted paneled ceilings, globe lighting, and expansive walls of glass showcase design, creating a bright, open atmosphere. Spanning more than 1,800 sq ft, the floorplan features a spacious living and dining room combination with a fireplace, a kitchen with appliances from brands such as GE Profile, an inviting family room, and three bedrooms including a primary suite with direct access outside. The backyard offers a pool and spa, while additional highlights include mini-split AC in many rooms and a 2-car garage. Ideally located just minutes from Mitchell Park and the Cubberley Community Center, the home is also a short drive to the shopping and dining along California Avenue and the Village at San Antonio Center, with convenient access to Caltrain and Highway 101. Plus, children may attend Fairmeadow or Hoover Elementary, JLS Middle, and Gunn High (buyer to verify eligibility).
