Welcome to this gorgeous gated one acre setting with privacy and views. The main house consists of 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, an office, and a sunroom with approximately 2,545 square footage. Additional attic playroom adds approximately 178 square feet. An auxiliary cottage boasts an upper main level with approximately 330 square feet including an office/studio with kitchenette, remodeled bathroom, as well as a lower level 220 square feet storage room/workshop.

This one-of-a-kind Farmhouse is on an extraordinary knolltop sprawling acre. The serene setting with commanding canyon and city light views offers privacy yet maintains the convenience of being close to Downtown Los Gatos.

The home has been tastefully expanded and renovated over the years with timeless and high-end finishes. In 2016, the spectacular IPE wrap around porch with steel cable railings was added along with the overhead massive arbor for outdoor entertaining opportunities.

The expansive living room is richly appointed with dramatic cathedral ceilings and a custom fireplace with surround and mantel.

The formal dining room is spacious and light-filled, with large windows and double French doors opening up to the porch, taking advantage of the magical views!

The gourmet kitchen was renovated with custom white cabinets, granite slab counters, tile backsplash, recessed lighting, gas stove, Subzero refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, and porcelain farmhouse sink.

The sun filled breakfast room is inviting with large windows and French doors also leading out to the backyard.

The indoor living spaces extend seamlessly to the outdoor entertaining areas creating an infusion of timeless beauty and modern California elegance.

The primary suite is located on the main floor and consists of a walk-in closet and luxurious bathroom with dual sinks, marble floors and countertop, and seamless glass enclosure, subway tile backsplash, cherrywood cabinets, and polished nickel fixtures.

The bedroom has French doors that open up to the backyard lawn area with canyon views.

Auxiliary cottage offers flexibility for an office or work area with a kitchenette, built-in cabinetry, balcony, views and large storage on the lower level.

Additional features  of the home include plantation shutters, Pella windows, a newer furnace, sliding phantom door screens, a Nest thermostat, and all-new ductwork in the crawlspace.

In recent years, the grounds have been renovated with stunning stone walls, several lawn areas, fruit trees, and succulent gardens.

The keynotes to the outdoor entertaining areas are the Connecticut Bluestone walkways (added in 2016) and a large patio with a stone built-in barbecue and firepit. Deer fencing, a generator, driveway, gates, a secondary gravel driveway, a pump house, side yard pavers, and outdoor lighting were also added.
