A spacious floor plan, large level lot, and end of a cul-desac location is a grand slam for anyone looking to relocate to the beautiful Almaden Valley.

The home at 1301 Salvatore Court is centrally located off Meridian Avenue and nearby shopping, great schools, and neighborho­od parks. The two-story home features about 2,356 square feet of living space with five bedrooms and three bathrooms including a guest bedroom and full bathroom on the main level, an updated kitchen with casual dining nook, family room and formal rooms.

The fully fenced yard is level and offers lots of opportunit­ies to customize for your lifestyle. A stamped concrete patio, waterfall, and elevated deck currently provide lots of space to gather for barbecues and casual entertaini­ng and play. Garden beds wrap around the patio. A spacious side yard offers room for RV or boat parking, garden shed or storage.

Bring you own ideas to create the backyard of your dreams and add an outdoor kitchen, or even a pool and spa without compromisi­ng the patio and garden space.

A deep setback creates a lovely front garden as well on either side of a wide pathway to the front porch. A front patio among lush foliage with a meandering dry creek bed would be an ideal venue for morning coffee and the paper or a great place to gather with neighbors to watch the kids play in the court on a summer’s evening.

Behind the double door entry is a spacious foyer with a flush mounted light fixture and tile floor. The formal living and dining room have new plush carpeting and fresh paint. A large bay window with built-in window seat frames a front-facing view. A large picture window in the dining room looks out over the backyard gardens. Both have wood blinds.

An updated kitchen is bright and features painted cabinetry with brushed nickel pulls and pull out shelving. New GE stainless appliances include an electric cooktop with hood, oven, microwave, dishwasher and refrigerat­or. Ceasarston­e counters provide lots of prep room. The window over the sink also has a pass through counter to the outside. An adjacent casual dining area has a ceiling fan with light fixture and is large enough to accommodat­e a table for at least eight and overlooks the backyard.

This wonderful gathering space continues into the family room anchored by a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace with built-in cabinetry including wine storage on either side. This room has new plush carpeting and a large sliding glass door that opens onto the backyard patios.

The five bedrooms include a main level guest bedroom with floor-to-ceiling mirrored closet doors, crown molding, and nearby full bathroom with shower.

There are four generoussi­zed bedrooms upstairs including one with a walk-in closet. Other closets feature built-in organizers. The master bedroom has a wall of sliding mirrored closet doors and a bathroom with shower. An additional full bathroom upstairs has a dual sink vanity and tub/shower combinatio­n. New carpeting is featured upstairs and the landing also has additional closet space.

Additional features include: three-car garage with storage cabinetry, updated water heater, dual pane windows, and laundry/mudroom with extensive storage cubbies and cabinetry. Lots of extra storage space is also available in a large closet that extends under the stairs.

Walk to Jeffrey Fontana Park, less than two minutes away, featuring 10 acres of parkland with a playground, dog play area, benches and walking paths, or Los Alamitos Elementary School about a quarter mile away. Castillero Middle School and Pioneer High School are both within a mile of the home.
