Updated interior plus outdoor sanctuary equals turnkey Almaden Valley Home
Unpack your bags and boxes and start living the good life in this beautifully appointed Almaden Valley home. A showpiece tucked in this prestigious neighborhood, the two-level home at 1195 Nikette Way brims with tasteful finishes and updates.
The almost quarter-acre property features a backyard designed for entertaining and quiet afternoons in the garden, with lots of room to spread out and have fun. Within a mile to top-rated K-12 schools, including about a quarter-mile to Williams Elementary, this neighborhood is also less than a mile to the Almaden Country Club. Pride in ownership is evident with meticulously maintained front yards and curb appeal within the peaceful surroundings.
Behind the double front door entry with transoms is about 2,700 square feet of living space with five bedrooms and three bathrooms, including that desirable main-level guest room and nearby bathroom.
The home is equipped with solar panels and two battery packs, a security camera system, tile and carpeting flooring, recessed lights, a Ring doorbell, and a whole house fan.
From the spacious entry with tile flooring, step down into a living room filled with natural light, carpet, and front-facing windows echoing the pitch of the vaulted ceiling. Adjacent to the living room is a cozy sitting room with a fireplace and parquet flooring. A formal dining room also has carpet, crown molding, wainscot detailing, and a wet bar with a granite counter, upper glass-faced cabinets, and wine storage. Slide open the glass doors to extend this entertaining space out onto the large Trex deck with built-in benches.
The spacious chef ’s kitchen has been updated with granite counters, a granite backsplash, and cherry cabinetry. Appliances include a Dacor range, Bosch dishwasher, LG refrigerator, and a built-in GE microwave. A breakfast bar will be a popular place to gather for a snack or conversation.
The kitchen is open to a casual dining area that also has a built-in desk with upper cabinetry. A tile floor with decorative inset tiles flows throughout the kitchen, casual dining area, and into the family room. Large windows frame views of the backyard gardens. The family room also has recessed lighting and a sliding glass door to the backyard.
Step out onto a spacious flagstone patio and adjacent Trex deck. Both offer multiple outdoor dining and lounging spaces and an ultra-private retreat. Relish the views of the parklike grounds bordered by mature trees. Step down to a vast synthetic lawn, enjoy the rose garden or follow a meandering river rock and illuminated pathway among the lush garden beds. An expansive side yard offers additional room for a play structure, raised vegetable garden beds, or a secret tranquility garden.
Four additional bedrooms are located on the upper floor. The master bedroom is behind a double door entry and features carpeted flooring, a ceiling fan with light, wood blinds, and scenic views of the surrounding mountains. A spacious dressing room has large closets with built-ins on two sides, including sliding mirrored doors. This room could also be an ideal workout space, home office, or private sitting room.
The master bathroom has been updated with dual vanities, quartz counters, porcelain tile flooring, stylish fixture, and an oversized shower with decorative pebble tile floor and bench, a rain showerhead, and eight adjustable body jets.
