This Silver Creek custom estate perched in quiet seclusion on over half acre level homesite is the ultimate family home
Just when you think you’ve seen luxury home backyard amenities, along comes a surprise.
What you don’t expect is the $100,000 skating rink built in the backyard about eight years ago. While it “skates” like the real thing, it won’t melt in the hot South Bay sun and can be used for roller blading or a playing field.
The family- and kid -friendly compound in San Jose’s Silver Creek Valley County Club features the 2,400-squarefoot synthetic ice skating rink alongside a sparkling pool, spa and outdoor kitchen pavilion surrounded by a custom designed landscape with stunning views of the eastern foothills.
The two-level custom estate at 5805 Orvieto Court is located at the end of a culde-sac on about .66 acres and surrounded by open space. The home features 5,896+/-sf, five bedrooms, office, and bonus/ rec room, dance room, six baths and two powder rooms. Includes first floor guest suite and upper level children’s wing with three bedroom suites with full baths around the bonus/ rec room, study room and full bath. Plus studio/exercise room, formal office and extra storage/hobby room off the four-car garage.
While the kids (or adults) are playing, others can enjoy the luxurious interior of this two-story home with dramatic sweeping staircase, back staircase and beautifully renovated gourmet kitchen designed for large scale entertaining.
The home features marble floors, plush carpeting, dramatic tall ceilings, plantation shutters, and many built-ins.
A formal office features an abundance of built-in cabinetry, multiple work stations and sitting area adjacent to the fireplace.
The living room has dramatic 20-foot ceilings, built-in maple cabinetry, fireplace with marble surround, and a wall of French doors with arched transoms that frame the views of the Pebble Tec pool and spa and surrounding hillsides.
Elegant columns define the formal dining room and adjacent music room that each have decorative crown molding and medallion molding showcasing stunning chandeliers.
The kitchen was redesigned in 2008 and features a breakfast bar with granite counter that stretches for more than 12½ feet. Perimeter granite counters provide lots of room for food prep with an oversized island in the middle. Stainless appliances include a six-burner range and two additional ovens with warming drawer and microwave and two dishwashers. The nearby casual dining nook has a bay window and wonderful views. A butler’s pantry between the kitchen and formal dining room features granite counters, cabinetry with glass paneled doors and wine refrigerator.
Also on the main floor is a home gym/dance studio with customized wood floor, a mirrored wall and French doors to the backyard.
A second spiral staircase was added to conveniently connect the kitchen/family room with the upstairs children’s wing bonus/ rec room. Just off this room is a study room with three built-in workstations.
The master bedroom wing enjoys a beautiful easterly view of the distant mountains and rolling hillsides. It has a fireplace and luxurious bathroom featuring a dual-sink vanity, walk-in closet with cedar-lined floors, walk-in shower and jetted soaking tub.
