What I love about this 2013 built home, with 5 bedrooms, is the Rustic Modern aesthetic by builder and designer, Rick & Jeanette Loretz – known for quality craftsmanship. The open concept floor plan includes a kitchen that opens to the family room to form the great room. Exquisite yet familiar finishes such as leathered granite, solid hardwood floors, and tall ceilings make this home timeless because quality never goes out of style. The family room combines with the shaded back patio to create an ideal indoor-outdoor living-entertaining space. An outdoor kitchen with built in grill, sink, and refrigerator completes the alfresco experience.
Vibrant Grant Park, known for playgrounds, sports fields, free summer concerts, and senior center, is just 2.5 blocks away. Friendly neighbors, well-balanced schools, and fun gatherings await! Silicon Valley and the Bay Area are within easy reach. Nearby schools include Montclaire ES, Cupertino MS, Homestead HS, St Simon, St Francis, and Pinewood*.
