Lovingly maintained and improved by the current owners for over two decades, this east-facing single-family home sits in a lower-density pocket of Santa Clara's desirable Sunnybrae neighborhood. Tree-lined Carli Park, with no housing across the street, provides rare openness and privacy, while the home remains centrally located just a short walk to Santa Clara Town Centre and a quick drive to major employers, Santana Row, Valley Fair, Mariposa Shopping Center, and key commute routes. An added bonus is Santa Clara's notably low utility rates. A fenced front yard with fruit trees and native landscaping leads to a wide great room spanning nearly the full width of the home. The remodeled spacious open kitchen features custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless appliances, and a large walk-in pantry. Three comfortable bedrooms and one and a half updated bathrooms line the rear of the home. A bonus sunroom (not included in square footage) provides flexible space for work, play, or fitness. Interior upgrades include solid oak floors, in-ceiling LED lighting, and dual-pane windows throughout. With approximately 50 feet from the rear of the house to the rear fence, the refreshingly deep backyard offers room for expansion of a new attached/detached ADU, or conversion of the garage.
