Beautifully appointed home in the Old Almaden Winery neighborhood is close to top performing schools
Beautifully appointed, tastefully updated and impeccably maintained, this home enjoys the peaceful ambience of the Old Almaden Winery neighborhood.
Located at 5691 Mireille Drive, this two-level home features about 2,000 square feet of light-filled living space with four bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms. The level backyard is an incredibly private retreat where you can dine al fresco or lounge in an outdoor living room on the covered patio and enjoy the surrounding mountain views, cook at the built-in barbecue, tend to the perimeter gardens or enjoy kicking a ball around on the sprawling lawn.
Built in 1994, the home was designed with dramatic vaulted ceilings, double door entry with transom, and large arched windows now featuring custom window coverings.
A remodel in 2007 created a stunning eat-in kitchen and adjoining family room adorned with a warm and richly toned porcelain tile, quartz counters and breakfast bar, island with stylish pendant lighting, recessed lighting, and custom cherry wood cabinetry with decorative reed glass doors and under cabinet lighting.
The kitchen also features a walk-in pantry and updated stainless appliances including a Kitchen Aid five burner cooktop, oven, microwave and refrigerator, and stainless sink with pull down Grohe faucet.
The kitchen is open to the family room that is anchored by a fireplace with its porcelain tile surround. There is built-in cabinetry, a ceiling fan and French door access to the backyard.
There are four spacious bedrooms including the master bedroom suite on the upper floor. The master features a vaulted ceiling, view windows and custom window coverings. The bathroom is stylishly designed with a tile floor, new fixtures, vanity and sink, new glass enclosed shower and walkin closet. Three additional bedrooms share a full bathroom with a dual sink vanity and shower/tub combination.
Additional features include fresh interior paint, updated fencing, wood blinds, plush carpeting, main level powder room with pedestal sink, updated water heater, twocar garage with storage and indoor laundry room and fresh lush front landscaping.
Just around the corner is the picturesque 5.26acre historic park, a lovely greenbelt oasis in the heart of the Almaden Winery neighborhood. Designed by the renowned landscape architect Thomas Church, the park features sprawling lawns, play structures, meandering pathways, a colorful rose garden and an ideal setting for picnics or informal gatherings with neighbors. A significant piece of the area’s history and a designated California National Landmark, the park was once home to the Almaden Winery, owned by the LeFranc Family and California’s second oldest winery.
Nearby top-rated schools include Guadalupe Elementary, Dartmouth Middle School and choice of Leigh or Branham High Schools.
Enjoy the easy access to shopping, the library, commute routes to Silicon Valley and downtown San Jose and San Francisco and other area parks including the Guadalupe Creek Trail, De Anza Park and Almaden Lake Park at Lake Almaden.
