About This Home

As of July 2017

Excellent location in a sought after Pruneridge neighborhood just steps from Valley Fair mall. Beautifully updated ranch style home with an open concept floor plan & a charming front porch. Stunning, brand new kitchen featuring granite counters w/tile backsplash, new cabinets, recessed lighting, pendant lighting and stainless appliances with a gas range. You'll also love the brand new bathrooms! New floors and paint throughout. For the car buff, an attached 2 car "drive through" garage with a large, covered concrete pad in the back (perfect storage for a boat, extra cars, pop up camper, etc.). Quiet neighborhood street since the Winchester entrance to Forest was blocked 2 years ago. Enjoy all that the area offers with nearby golfing, parks, Santana Row, CineArts theaters and Valley Fair Mall. Close proximity to the new Apple campus and freeways. Relax and entertain your friends and family in the private back yard, or enjoy the convenience of all the nearby shopping and restaurants.
