Nestled at the entrance to one of San Joses finest neighborhoods, the Cory, yet with the benefit of a Santa Clara address and the CHEAP and plentiful utilities that entails, this move-in ready rancher with an open, functional, and natural light-drenched layout has been significantly updated while maintaining its midcentury character and details. The extensive list of modern, efficient upgrades includes a remodeled spacious kitchen with quartz countertops, designer pendant and under-cabinet lighting, and stylish backsplash, whole-house re-piping, in-ceiling LED lighting and dual pane windows, central HVAC, and a spacious two car garage pre-wired for an EV charger. Fully-fenced front and back yards, each benefiting from the shade of a majestic redwood tree, & a side patio with ample space for outdoor dining, relaxation, or future expansion. Centrally a short drive from the South Bay’s largest employers (and a neighborhood walk or bike ride through the Cory to a multitude of dining and retail options at nearby Valley Fair & Santana Row), there has been a comprehensive 18 point maintenance regimen, allowing it to be identified as *Certified Pre-Owned* with a home warranty.
