Set behind private gates on over half an acre, a rare offering in central Santa Clara, this Mediterranean-inspired estate blends privacy and refined indoor-outdoor living. Spanning approximately 4,100 square feet across two combined parcels, the home enjoys a beautifully landscaped, park-like setting seldom found in the heart of Silicon Valley. Vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and a striking fireplace anchor the great room, complemented by a richly crafted wood bar for entertaining. A formal living and dining room provide timeless gathering spaces, while the kitchen features quartz countertops, stainless-steel appliances, generous cabinetry, a breakfast bar, butlers pantry, and natural light from an expansive skylight. The primary suite offers soaring ceilings, French doors to a private outdoor retreat, a spa-inspired bath, and custom boutique walk-in closet. Flexible spaces include guest bedrooms, a fourth bedroom or library, and a professional-style music room. Outdoor living unfolds beneath a covered loggia and outdoor kitchen, surrounded by mature landscaping, lawn areas, a fountain, and built-in spa. An attached two-car garage and detached three-car garage add exceptional versatility. A rare opportunity to enjoy estate-style living on an oversized lot in central Santa Clara.
