This four-bedroom, two-bath home offers 1,534 square feet of comfortable living space, with connected gathering areas, an updated kitchen, and inviting outdoor spaces designed for everyday enjoyment.

Just moments from Washington Park and minutes from Downtown Sunnyvale, historic Murphy Avenue, and Caltrain, the home offers an appealing balance of neighborhood charm, recreation, and convenience.

A Light-Filled Living Room Anchored by Classic Ranch Character

A welcoming covered entry leads into the foyer, opening to an expansive living room where natural light pours through a large picture window overlooking the front lawn and tree-lined streetscape.

Generous proportions provide plenty of room for comfortable seating and conversation, while a fireplace with a wood mantel creates a warm, inviting focal point. The living room flows naturally into the adjoining dining area and kitchen, creating an open, connected arrangement that makes the home feel especially spacious and welcoming.

Connected Spaces Make Everyday Living and Entertaining Easy

Positioned between the living room and kitchen, the spacious dining area comfortably accommodates a six- to eight-person table, making it equally suited to weeknight dinners and celebrations with friends.

Sliding glass doors provide access to the side yard and bring additional natural light into the space, while recessed display cabinetry offers an attractive place to showcase dinnerware and treasured collections. With the living room on one side and the kitchen's breakfast bar on the other, the dining area serves as a natural gathering point, allowing conversations and activities to flow easily from one space to the next.

A Beautifully Updated Kitchen with Room to Gather

The updated kitchen pairs generous countertop space with warm wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a thoughtfully arranged U-shaped layout designed for everyday functionality and entertaining.

A Viking gas range with a contemporary range hood takes center stage along the peninsula, which also provides convenient breakfast bar seating overlooking the dining area. Additional highlights include a stainless steel Frigidaire French-door refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, and built-in microwave.

A window above the sink brings natural light into the workspace, while sliding glass doors open directly to the covered backyard patio, creating an effortless connection between indoor cooking, dining, and outdoor entertaining.

Outdoor Spaces Designed for Maximum Enjoyment

Step outside from the kitchen to an inviting backyard retreat, where a covered pergola creates a welcoming setting for outdoor dining, entertaining, and relaxation. Beautiful travertine stone flooring adds a refined touch to the patio, while an overhead electric heater extends its usability into cooler evenings.

A built-in redwood bench provides additional seating, complementing the natural materials and thoughtful hardscaping. Beyond the patio, a grassy lawn offers room for outdoor activities and gardening, while fig and persimmon trees bring seasonal interest and character to the landscape.

The home's connected layout makes these outdoor spaces especially enjoyable. Sliding glass doors from both the kitchen and dining area create multiple points of access, allowing guests to move naturally between the home's interior gathering spaces and the backyard.

At the front, a generous grassy lawn and welcoming covered entry enhance the home's classic California ranch appeal.

Four Comfortable Bedrooms and Two Updated Bathrooms

Four bedrooms offer flexibility for restful retreats, guest accommodations, a home office, or creative pursuits. Their separation from the main gathering areas provides a practical balance between shared living spaces and private rooms.

Both full bathrooms have been updated with contemporary finishes, including floating vanities with drawer storage, wall-mounted Euro-style toilets, and glass-enclosed step-in showers.

Recent finishing touches include fresh interior and exterior paint, new bedroom carpeting, and recessed lighting in all four bedrooms. A water heater replaced in 2025 and a two-car garage add practical convenience.
