First time on the market in 23 years! Rarely available former model home tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in one of the best-run associations within The Villages Golf & Country Club, San Jose’s premier gated 55+ community. Light permeates throughout this home, the private, oversized back patio and yard give this home the feel of a detached townhome retreat with mature greenery, a flowering garden, and a heavy-producing lemon tree creating a secluded outdoor living space that’s rare at this price point. Inside, the model-home pedigree shows: a beautifully updated kitchen with custom cabinetry, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, rich wood flooring throughout, and a light, easy-flowing floor plan. Residents enjoy resort-level amenities across 1,200 gated acres a championship 18-hole course plus a 9-hole par-3 and driving range, clubhouse with restaurant and fitness centers, four pools and spas, tennis, bocce, hiking and bridle trails, over 500 acres of open space, and 100+ clubs and activities.
