Tucked in the quiet heart of Mariposa Gardens, one of Santa Clara's most coveted neighborhoods, this move-in-ready mid-century gem combines vintage character with extensive modern upgrades. Benefit from top-tier education at nearby Sutter Elementary (9/10 test scores) and enviably low Santa Clara utility rates. No detail has been overlooked: the home features a full electrical overhaul (new panel/wiring/surge protection), a newer roof with 50 year warranty, copper piping, dual-pane Andersen windows, and central HVAC. Interior highlights include solid hardwood floors, recessed LED lighting, and two remodeled designer bathrooms with Delta shower systems. The finished garage has painted flooring, matching the wide, private front porch freshly painted. The exterior is a masterclass in California native landscaping and custom hardscape, featuring a custom paver driveway and front/rear patios. Positioned perfectly on the lot, the surprisingly deep backyard offers massive potential for an ADU or expansion. Enjoy a short stroll to Central Park, the International Swim Center, and Stan's Donuts, or a quick drive to Apple, Nvidia, and the luxury retail at Santana Row. This turnkey sanctuary offers suburban peace and "newness" with enviably low Santa Clara utilities.
