A 1925 Spanish masterpiece awaits you in the sought-after Hillcrest community of the East Foothills. Incredible original touches such as beam ceilings and Central American-themed Handcraft tile accent the home's entertaining areas, yet the open-concept chef's kitchen/dining room and updated bathrooms make it livable in our modern era. Take in the views across the valley of twinkling lights and the Santa Cruz Mountains from the front balcony and primary bedrooms or enjoy the backyard sanctuary with its charming pergola and finished workshop/office. Four bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms round out the living space, while an attached 2-car garage and partially finished basement/wine cellar provide ample storage for lifestyle interests. This walkable neighborhood is just a short distance from shopping and restaurants and a short drive to the venerable San Jose Country Club. You'll always enjoy the hiking and biking trails of nearby Alum Rock Park, plus it's just a quick 20-minute commute to downtown! Don't miss this rare opportunity to move to San Jose's Best Kept Secret!
