Description

Own a Piece of Silicon Valley Startup History. This remarkable home is more than just a beautiful residence; it was the birthplace of three successful technology startups, including a payroll company that grew into one of Silicon Valley's most recognizable fintech businesses, as well as AI companies SanasAI and Hoomanely. Recently refreshed with new interior paint and professionally redesigned landscaping, this exceptional five-bedroom, four-bathroom home offers an ideal blend of luxury, comfort, and functionality. It features an open-concept kitchen with custom cabinetry and Silestone quartz countertops, a spacious second family room with a wet bar that provides additional flexibility for hosting guests or relaxing with family. Additional highlights include newer hardwood flooring, a generous laundry room, a whole-home multi-zone surround A/V distribution system, and security wiring. The backyard has been transformed into a private retreat, featuring a newly paved patio, fresh sod, and mature landscaping that creates a peaceful outdoor sanctuary with plenty of room to entertain or play. Whether you're drawn by its exceptional design, outstanding location, or its unique place in Silicon Valley history, this is truly a one-of-a-kind home.
