County: Santa ClaraThis beautiful Eichler is full of light with a slate atrium courtyard. Inside you will find new bamboo floors with radiant heat and a remodeled gourmet kitchen. The kitchen features quartz counters, alder wood cabinets and GE Cafe appliances. Enjoy the open living room and spacious dining area. You will truly enjoy this home and its location near Las Palmas Park and Cumberland Elementary.
New bamboo floors inside? It’s the outside you need to be taking a good look at. That hedge along the front wall will satisfy your need for tree-like objects without any objectionable tree-like behaviors.
Plus the backsplash design in the kitchen will wake you up every time you enter the room. It’s not that the colors are particularly objectionable; we’re just not sure that design goes with the alder, the bamboo, the quartz and the stainless.
We haven’t even gotten into the slate.
So, nice open Eichler plan, recent remodel of a 50 year old house. Ready to plop down almost a mil for the second best elementary in the Sunnyvale school district? Maybe you should first check the location, location, location.
Because living on the corner of a secondary arterial and the route to a park and tennis center means the whole city will have many opportunities to admire your hedge! No wonder it went pending — BOOM!

This may be the first house on Burbed to score so many roadblocks in one place.

I bet if this house was in Mountain View someone would have commented on it by now.

I’m not even sure when the post went up, but I’m sure everyone was out refinancing before rates go up.
What’s that you say?
“In an unprecedented and controversial move the Federal Reserve today announced the initiation of an open-ended round of QE3 and extended the period for which it will keep rates between 0 and 1/4% to mid-2015.”

Guaranteed low interest rate means real estate is a safe investment now.

Can they lie about the address like that? They don’t even have an entrance at the address…

Seems like with all the “now is the right time to buy” talk that buying in the future is worse than today.
Tomorrow will there be any buyers left?

#6: Um say wut? Nobody lied about the address. Are you talking about a different house?
This is a zoom-in from Streetview, on Remington.

You can always count on Crissa for a non sequitur.

Don’t like this type of house, but love Sunnyvale. Too bad it’s a place for rich people only.

I thought that was the neighbor’s garage.

That’s just BS. You can hang that replacing the copper is expensive, but there are no safety rules from international code requiring this spacing. It’s totally from city (maybe county, but I doubt it) code modifications.

Nice post.
Nice use of pretending to care about our site while linking back to yourself. We’ll just put that URL of yours in the yard waste bin for safekeeping. –ed.

The problem with that neighborhood is that if you want a house that isn’t along Remington or some other busy road, you gotta pay 200K more. It’s like a mini-los-altos.

[...] When did “confetti tile” become A Thing? Didn’t we ran a house recently that had the same fascinating design choice? Well, there was this. [...]
