This spectacular Rose Garden estate is located on the historic University Avenue, one of the most sought-after streets in San Jose. The tree-lined avenue is nestled in the city’s prime residential area with easy access to everything from coffee shops and restaurants to grocery stores, parks, and museums.
When you step into the more than 5,200-square-foot house sitting on an expansive 20,000-square-foot lot, you’ll be greeted with a stunning custom home remodeled in 2006 by the award-winning De Mattei Construction.
The interior combines elegant traditional elements with modern luxury amenities to create a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere where you can experience open-concept living at its finest — augmented by pristine hardwood floors, tall ceilings and great natural light.
The spacious chef’s kitchen includes two full-size islands with granite countertops, a Viking gas oven range, double ovens, top-of-the-line appliances, custom cabinets and a walk-in pantry.
The adjacent family room and conversationalist living room feature a grand fireplace that brings everyone together. Meanwhile, the family-size, light-filled dining room offers a courtyard fountain view perfect for festive gatherings.
The warm and graceful primary suite connects to a large walk-in closet and a deluxe bathroom with double sinks, a stall shower, and a Jacuzzi tub. The junior suite has a recently updated full bathroom, while the two additional bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom.
Custom high-end shelving and cabinetry line the stately and distinguished office, which offers ample storage and workspace. Alternatively, you may convert it into a fifth bedroom.
The more than 1,000-square-foot finished attic space with skylights creates a light-filled, welcoming atmosphere perfect for family entertainment. Bring your home movie theater or set up a game room to ensure there’s something for everyone.
The more than 450-square-foot unfinished basement features tall ceilings, offering the perfect opportunity for building an enviable wine cellar and intimate gathering space.
Other features in this estate include owned solar, central AC, security system, ample storage, pool bathroom, laundry room and an attached three-car garage with a roundabout driveway.
But the gorgeous interior is just the beginning. The property’s numerous French doors create a seamless indoor-outdoor flow that takes you from the kitchen-family room area into your backyard oasis.
The outdoor space is an entertainer’s paradise with a refreshing saltwater pool, gorgeous vegetation, vibrant fruit trees, whimsical walking paths and a covered patio with an outdoor kitchen setup.
The estate is a pleasant and short saunter to the historic Municipal Rose Garden Park and a stone’s throw away from top restaurants, shopping, and entertainment at Westfield Valley Fair Mall, Santana Row, The Alameda and downtown San Jose.
The location also offers easy access to major freeways, Caltrain and San Jose International Airport. Its proximity to the esteemed Bellarmine College Prep High School and St. Martin of Tours School makes it an ideal place to raise a family.
This breathtaking legacy estate on University Avenue is a rare find and won’t stay on the market for long.
