Designer touches in this Unique Almaden Valley Pierce Ranch Home

- By Monica Lander

Designer touches and brilliant details make this Almaden Valley home worthy of an exciting HGTV reveal. Meticulous­ly maintained and updated, this home is filled with a contempora­ry and neutral palate of colors, natural light, clean fresh lines, and stylish fixtures. Combine its turnkey condition with a centralize­d location nestled along a picturesqu­e neighborho­od, and you have a winning property.

Surrounded by several neighborho­od parks in close proximity, this home at 6518 Mcabee Rd. is also walking distance to Castillero Middle School, less than a mile to Simonds Elementary, and less than two miles to Pioneer High School, with attendance at Leland High School also as a possibilit­y. Walk to the trailhead of Quicksilve­r County Park about a half-mile away and take advantage of the miles of hiking trails that traverse the gorgeous parkland. Grab your golf clubs or gather with friends at the Almaden Golf and Country Club also nearby or hop on easy freeway access into Silicon Valley and downtown San Jose.

Beyond the manicured, park-like front landscape and welcoming front porch is about 2,582 square feet of living space with five bedrooms and three bathrooms including a main-level guest room and full bathroom, and sumptuous master retreat with custom “glam room” and dreamy walk-in closet room.

Decorative leaded glass panels adorn the double door entry that opens onto a twostory foyer with updated tile flooring. The interior features fresh paint, wide baseboards, updated dual pane windows with plantation shutters, recessed lighting, and high ceilings.

The formal living and adjacent dining rooms are spacious rooms that feature wide-planked hardwood floors, a vaulted ceiling and a front-facing picture window and view of the front gardens.

An updated chef ’s kitchen features granite slab counters, a peninsula island/ breakfast bar, chic subway tile backsplash, and a classic Shaws farmhouse sink with a bowed front apron. Updated stainless appliances include a Kitchenaid dishwasher, GE Profile dual oven range with convection, microwave, and upgraded “quiet” garbage disposal.

The adjacent casual dining area has a ceiling fan and sliding glass door access to the backyard. A wood-burning fireplace with a stone façade anchors the spacious family room that also has a view of the backyard gardens. A wet bar with a granite counter and sink is centrally located and ideal for your next gathering.

Entertain, play and relax in the very private backyard setting that includes a spacious composite deck and decorative painted railing, expansive patio and lush lawn surrounded by perimeter garden beds and mature trees.

The upstairs landing is open to the downstairs and

features plush carpeting. A master bedroom retreat is a beautiful room featuring a ceiling that soars to about 16 feet, front-facing windows with custom plantation shutters, and room to relax in a comfy chair or loveseat. Just off the updated bathroom that features a dual sink vanity and separate shower room, is the “glam room” designed for a private makeup vanity and dressing room space. Behind a glass French door with a custom plantation shutter is a custom designed walk-in closet. The

130 square-foot room has a vaulted ceiling, natural light, and heat and air conditioni­ng. Custom organizers and shelving offer lots of room for shoe and handbag collection­s. Take advantage of this expansive closet space or customize and turn it into a home office, nursery, work out room or quiet retreat.

Three additional bedrooms on the upper floor have sliding closet doors, plush carpeting, and wood blinds. A full bathroom on this level has also been updated with stylish fixtures, tile flooring, counter,

and a sliding glass door to the tub/shower combinatio­n. Additional features include a three-car garage with overhead storage racks, automated garden irrigation, indoor laundry room, two furnaces, central air conditioni­ng, and an updated water heater. Price: $1,685,000
