Property Description
Land, land, and more land. This Santa Clara rancher has BY FAR the largest lot of any home currently for sale in Santa Clara (plus no neighbors to the rear - the vacant lot behind is City-owned), as single family properties with this much land are few and far between and rarely hit the market, especially in a desirable 95051 neighborhood. The possibilities and upside potential are limitless, from some DIY landscaping and targeted remodeling to match the recent upgrades (like an expansive paver driveway and parking pad, a spacious and remodeled primary bathroom, dual pane windows throughout, and a long-life tile roof), to a more significant remodel with an addition bringing in the vast backyard through extensive windows and sliders, to a jumbo detached ADU, or potentially even subdivision into separate parcels. The photos and 3D renderings offer just a few illustrations of this homes generational potential, and its location in the heart of Santa Clara ensures the benefit of cheap Santa Clara utilities, a bike ride to Nvidia or Apple, and a short drive to most of the South Bays largest employers, commute routes, and nearby amenities.
