Work from home or entertain in style on a huge covered patio: California lifestyle at its best!

Beautiful pavers cover the patio and walkways in this lovely home, as well as the front porch area. So many choices for enjoying the outdoors!

The covered patio boasts nearly 700 square foot of additional outdoor living space. For most homes, that would be the size of two or more family rooms!

This amazing California lifestyle entertainment area features a high, open beam vaulted ceiling with 4 skylights and area lights, plus a fan light, making it useable at all hours and in just about every weather condition. Curtains on one side can provide extra privacy or weather protection if needed.

Summer kitchen - California lifestyle home in the Cambrian area of San Jose

The summer kitchen  provides granite counters and a wrap around breakfast bar that can seat 11! Additionally, there’s a gas barbecue (plumbed with a gas line, not a tank), an icemaker, and a Kegerator! There’s loads of counter space for meal prep or serving – room for everything!

A flat screen TV sits opposite the summer kitchen, making it easy to enjoy entertainment outdoors alone or with a dozen or two of your closest family and friends!

Stunning inside, too!

The interior of this home is pretty amazing, too. It’s been almost continually improved for the last couple of decades by these sellers and the previous owners. Seldom will you find a home where there’s been so much care taken!

The indoors also provides a classically California lifestyle, too. The living and dining rooms overlook the expansive covered patio and the kitchen looks out to the front yard. With four bedrooms and two bathrooms, there’s room for everyone and everything!
