Situated on a small knoll in the prestigious Los Altos Country Club neighborhood, the home at 1557 Plateau Drive features many of the most highly regarded elements which make a house a luxury property and a joy to see.

The Los Altos Country Club Neighborhood

Younger, Elegant Mediterranean View Home

The property at 1557 Plateau Avenue is younger, just 18 years old, constructed by a builder who was making it for himself and his family.  As you might imagine, the owner-builder utilized the land to make best use of the view opportunity.  He also created it with many extra features & finishing touches which distinguish a quality, custom home from tract housing.

The floorplan is flexible. There is a 2 car garage at street level, but a third which is accessed from the rear of the property – ideal for RVs, boats, and extra cars or vehicles. The 3rd garage can be used as built, or as a rec room, extra storage, or a number of other options.

Located close to the Guadalupe Creek and the foothills of the coastal mountain range, the Montevideo neighborhood enjoys tree lined streets and scenic green views of the hills.  Houses and yards are nicely kept. It is fairly convenient for commuting as it’s not too deeply into the San Jose area of Almaden Valley.  About 500 residents call this beautiful neighborhood home.

Shuffle board area of Montevideo cabana

In addition to the pleasant vistas, the Montevideo home owners and residents enjoy the cabaña, which includes a community pool, clubhouse, recreation grounds (shuffleboard, volleyball court and more), a fun swim team for kids.   There are very few cabañas in the west valley, so this is a big draw.

Adjacent is the very highly regarded Guadaulupe Elementary School, which can boast API scores in the 900s (it was 930 in the 2010 study). (more…)

I see a lot of “silly stuff” in homes.  I have seen kitchens with mirrored glass cabinets, pools that were not removed at all but simply filled in with dirt and grass (so it still LOOKS like a pool), strange colored interior decor, impractical ideas and oddities all around.

Today I chuckled to again see something that looked useful but simply wasn’t.  I was showing  a San Jose house  and appreciated the abundance of windows there.

When we got upstairs, I had a look at the clerestory windows at the top.  They were in no way easily accessible from below but instead would require the use of a very, very tall ladder. Incredulously,  I saw that the windows had blinds which are manually operated.

Who’s going to go all the way up there to open and close those things? What were they thinking?
