Bright and move-in-ready Cambrian Park home showcasing a thoughtfully designed layout that lives larger than its square footage, filled with natural light and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The gourmet kitchen features timeless shaker cabinetry, sleek quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances, opening effortlessly into the main living spaces, perfect for everyday comfort and entertaining. The private primary suite offers a generous walk-in closet and a well-appointed dual-sink vanity, creating a peaceful retreat. Recent upgrades include a new garage door, epoxy-coated garage flooring, and built-in overhead storage for added functionality and organization. The front yard is beautifully designed with custom seating and privacy fencing, while the expansive paver backyard truly elevates the property. This oversized space offers incredible flexibility for al fresco dining, gardening, or recreation. There is ample room to create a pickleball court or multi-sport area, along with potential future ADU expansion (buyer to verify). Owned solar panels, an EV charger, and a dedicated laundry room provide modern efficiency. Ideally located near the San Jose Public Library, De Anza Park, Whole Foods, and top-rated Branham High School.
