The spacious updated home with an inviting backyard sits in the picturesqu­e Pierce Ranch neighborho­od. Add the glimpses of the Evergreen hills and this Almaden Valley home has it all. The historic location, once the base for hunting expedition­s and later home to a dairy ranch on the 250 acres of lush land tucked against the foothills, became the site of beautiful homes beginning in the late 1970s.

The two-level home located at 6531 Springpath Lane features about 2,177 square feet of living space with five bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms. A gated courtyard with lush foliage presents a welcoming entry into the marble tile foyer filled with natural light from leaded glass side panels and arched transom over the front door.

The home features laminate flooring and dual pane windows with stylish blinds.

Step down into the expansive living room where there are laminate floors and a large picture window framing the view of the front gardens. Laminate floors continue into the adjoining formal dining room, a spacious room with a stylish wrought-iron chandelier and picture window facing the backyard.

The updated kitchen is open to a casual dining area and large family room providing lots of room for informal gatherings with family and friends. The kitchen sparkles with granite slab counters, backsplash and breakfast bar, updated painted cabinetry, a double stainless sink with view window, and built-in workstatio­n. Stainless Kenmore appliances include a range, built-in microwave, and dishwasher.

Sliding glass doors from the casual dining area and family room brighten the rooms with natural light and provide a seamless flow to the backyard space. The casual dining area also has a nearby wet bar with sink and the family room is anchored by a brick fireplace with raised hearth.

Create your own piece of paradise in the level backyard with plenty of room for fun, gardening or relaxing in quiet solitude. Dine or lounge on the aggregate patio under a freshly painted pergola, make a splash in the sparkling pool and spa, play on the lush lawn, or plant your favorite flowers and vegetables along the raised perimeter garden beds. The perfumed scent from two orange trees and mature hedges add to the peaceful ambience of this private and completely fenced yard.

Laminate floors continue upstairs where there are five bedrooms including the spacious master bedroom retreat with multiple closets and stylish bathroom with granite slab counter and shower. The bedrooms are generous in size and share a large and updated full bathroom shower/bathtub combinatio­n.

Additional features include an indoor laundry room, powder room, two-car garage with new door, backyard tool shed, and updated furnace.

The location is also appealing because of its proximity to shopping less than 1.5 miles away or catch the train or bus into Silicon Valley at the station less than 2.5 miles away. There is easy access to Camden Avenue and Almaden Expressway and commute routes.

Hike in nearby Quick Silver Park. Walk less than a 0.5 mile to Castillero Middle School, 1 mile to Simonds Elementary, and take a short 2.5-mile drive to Pioneer High School. Enjoy easy access to many neighborho­od parks also within walking distance including the Almaden Meadows Park. The Almaden Golf and Country Club is also close by. Price: $1,499,000
