Majestic oaks flank a curved drive to this exceptional old world estate set on a rare one-acre site in Glen Ridge. The extensively updated main house and separate guest house enjoy an exceptional park-like setting. The beautiful grounds include swimming pool and tennis court. This setting is enhanced by green canyon vistas and privacy not usually experienced in a convenient walk-to-town location. The charming historic town of Los Gatos with its renowned restaurants, Sunday farmer’s market, and nationally ranked schools is a stroll away.
This Mediterranean classic, built in 1928, was extensively upgraded and expanded in 2003. Its European detail is now fully complemented by 21st century systems. This one-of-a-kind property offers comfortable sophistication with outstanding new amenities yet it retains the graciousness of another era.
The extensively updated and expanded main house includes 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths in approximately 4330sf. Spacious grand scale living areas feature high ceilings, old world craftsmanship and superb detail. Highlights include a Great Room anchored by its massive fireplace; a Viking Professional kitchen fully equipped for the chef plus adjoining sun-filled office; a formal Dining Room featuring banks of French doors and a beautiful chandelier; the family Sun Room with window wall overlooks the park-like grounds, sparkling pool, and far off canyon vistas; and a second Family Room is tucked away on the ground floor.
The master suite features a romantic balcony-for-two with beautiful views and luxury marble bath. The 3 additional bedrooms in the main house all adjoin full baths. The separate guest house has an additional bedroom and bath.
The oak-studded one acre site provides a quiet retreat with its natural landscape and views, and an exceptional venue for entertaining by the pool or on the tennis court. Beautifully landscaped grounds include lawns, heritage oaks, and private views of the canyon and beyond. The pool sparkles like a gem in the garden. Meandering trails lead to the tennis court. This one-of-a-kind estate is the perfect home for large-scale entertaining or private retreat from the demands of Silicon Valley.
