Located in the Woodside of Almaden neighborho­od, this home at 6980 Claywood Way is one of about 386 homes nestled in a quiet and picturesqu­e pocket of tree-lined streets with views of the Santa Teresa Foothills and gorgeous mountains. Refreshed front landscape and fresh exterior paint give it that curb appeal.

Hop on the Los Alamitos Creek Trail, a 4.7-mile trail that runs north to Los Alamitos Park and Lake Almaden or the Calero Creek Trail that will take you south about 1.2 miles to Santa Teresa County Park. The trails meet at Singer Park less than a mile away. Top-rated schools are also convenient­ly close and include less than a mile to Graystone Elementary, and less than a mile and a half to Bret Harte Middle and Leland High Schools. Enjoy the easy access to local shopping, restaurant­s, the community center, and library and freeway access into Silicon Valley or south to Morgan Hill, Gilroy and Monterey County.

The two-level home offers about 3,089 square feet of light-filled living space with five bedrooms and three bathrooms. Refreshed front landscape and fresh exterior paint create curb appeal. Behind the double door entry and the spacious tiled foyer are hardwood floors, carpeted bedrooms, high ceilings, dual pane windows, fresh interior paint, Hunter Douglas shades and wood blinds, and recessed ceiling lights. Inviting gathering spaces include a formal living room, family room, and an open kitchen with an adjacent dining area. A main-level bedroom has a sliding glass door access to the backyard. An additional mainlevel bedroom would also make an ideal home office, library, or playroom.

Step down into the formal living room that features a front-facing window and view of the front gardens. There is a vaulted ceiling in the family room that is also anchored by a fireplace with a marble tile surround and carved mantel. Slide open the glass doors for easy access to the private backyard where there is plenty of room to play and entertain. The stamped concrete patio includes a pergola, ideal for outdoor dining, side yard with a storage shed, raised garden beds, and a gentle slope for additional terraced gardens.

The dining room also has a vaulted ceiling and an oversized bay window that welcomes a lot of natural light into the rooms.

A skylight brightens the large kitchen that also has access to the patio. Wrapping around a butcher-block island/breakfast bar are granite counters, lots of maple cabinetry and storage, two large spacious built-in double door pantries and a stainless sink that has a view of the backyard gardens.

The kitchen is well appointed with dual Jenn Air ovens, refrigerat­or, dishwasher, and a four-burner electric cook top.

Skylights brighten the upstairs landing. There are three additional bedrooms upstairs, including the master bedroom behind a double door entry. This room also has a vaulted ceiling, a ceiling fan, and a large picture window with a view of the distant mountains. Two closets have sliding mirrored doors and built-in organizers. The master bathroom has a tile floor, a dual-sink vanity, stall shower, and a two-person soaking tub. A front-facing window welcomes additional natural light.

Two more bedrooms also have front-facing windows and mirrored sliding closet doors. A large bathroom has an updated furniture-style vanity, tile floors, and a tub/ shower combinatio­n.

Additional features include a two-car garage, security alarm system, Ring doorbell, and newer fencing. A laundry room with a sink and cabinetry and an extra walk-in storage closet are located upstairs. Price: $1,899,000.
