About this home
Held by the same family since 1952, this single-level California bungalow offers a rare blend of timeless character, modern comfort, and an enviable downtown Sunnyvale lifestyle. Sunlight pours through abundant windows across the versatile open floor plan, while an expansive, light-filled family room creates an effortless gathering space for everyday living and entertaining. The beautifully updated chef's kitchen features sleek quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a full-height glass tile backsplash. Outside, seamless indoor-outdoor living awaits: linger over morning coffee on the welcoming front porch, or host alfresco dinners beneath a backyard pergola draped in fragrant trumpet lilies. A generous garden area and versatile Tuff Shed provide the ultimate setup for urban gardening, hobby workshops, or creative flex space. Tucked on a peaceful street just blocks from historic Murphy Avenue, this location is unmatched. Stroll to the year-round Saturday Farmers Market, Whole Foods, AMC, Target, and lively neighborhood dining. With Caltrain steps away and seamless access to Central Expressway, Lawrence, and top Silicon Valley tech campuses, this cherished home is primed and ready for its next chapter.

CAL FIRE does not map this parcel inside a designated Fire Hazard Severity Zone. That is an absence of state designation, not a guarantee — the seller's Natural Hazard Disclosure remains the authoritative document for this address.
