A Mediterranean-style home in a picturesque neighborhood
The rhythmic sound of water cascading from the wall fountain in the front courtyard of this Los Gatos home immediately creates a relaxed and comforting ambiance.
The Mediterranean-style home was completely renovated on a large corner lot in 2006 and sits in a picturesque neighborhood. The single-level home at 16337 Shady View Lane showcases a warm and inviting interior with beautiful architectural details, millwork, Old World textured walls, travertine tile and cherry wood floors, and high ceilings.
Almost 2,900 square feet of living space features four bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms, formal living and dining rooms, and a fabulous great room with a beautifully appointed gourmet kitchen open to a spacious family room and casual dining nook.
Across the street from Blossom Hill Park (including tennis courts) and an Elementary School, its prime location is less than a mile to shopping and many dining options near Whole Foods and Lunardi’s markets and about two miles from the charming Los Gatos downtown filled with boutiques, cafés, and restaurants. More top-rated Los Gatos schools nearby include Fisher Middle School and Los Gatos High School. Enjoy the easy access to the popular Vasona Lake County Park and the Los Gatos Creek Trail. Hop on nearby Highway 17 for commute routes into Silicon Valley and San Francisco with less than a 13-mile drive to the San Jose International Airport.
Glass tile accents enhance the travertine tile flooring that begins in the entry. Columns define the formal rooms that also feature cherry wood floors. A formal dining room has an elegant coffered ceiling with custom lighting, medallion molding and front-facing window with courtyard view. A trio of arches and columns defines the living room that also has a coffered ceiling and gas fireplace with a marble surround. Two single French doors open to the garden and backyard access.
Granite counters with a decorative tumbled stone tile backsplash wrap around the gourmet kitchen and complement the custom cherry cabinetry with brushed nickel pulls, custom lighting and upper glass-faced cabinets. A granite-topped inland/ breakfast bar with a prep sink is illuminated with a pair of stylish pendants and natural light pours in through a garden window over the double stainless sink.
Beautiful and functional, the kitchen features stainless appliances including a GE Monogram six-burner cooktop with Zephyr hood, and Kitchen Aid dishwasher, built-in microwave and oven, refrigerator, and wine refrigerator.
The adjacent family room is a spacious room with a vaulted ceiling, built-in window seat and garden views. Enjoy a casual meal in the dining nook that also features a coffered ceiling. Slide open the two glass doors and retreat to the inviting patio and gardens. Gather around the gas fire pit on the built-in bench or relax and dine on the spacious covered and open patios. There are lush garden beds and lawns, a trio of towering redwoods that offer privacy. The front corner garden is additional outdoor space ideal for play on the sprawling and fenced lawn under the canopy of a mature shade tree.
The private bedroom wing features the luxurious master suite that features a vaulted ceiling, stone-faced fireplace, front-facing windows and a walk-through closet with custom cabinetry. The master bath has a dual sink vanity, jetted tub, and frameless glass enclosed shower with dual showerheads. A single French door opens to the front courtyard patio.
