5281 Forest Creek Ct
About this home
Some locations, like 5281 Forest Creek Court, simply can't be replicated. Tucked into a quiet court in West San Jose's desirable Happy Valley neighborhood, the home enjoys an unusually private position overlooking Saratoga Creek Park, trail, and playground. The open, light-filled home underwent an extensive permitted remodel and addition with wide-plank Brazilian oak engineered hardwood, Milgard windows, and Samsung appliances throughout. The redesigned kitchen features custom two-tone cabinetry, Ocean Grey quartz, premium fixtures, and extensive custom storage. Remodeled baths feature large-format tile, custom glass showers, Kohler rainfall dual-system showers, and TOTO Nexus bidets. Custom California Closets extend throughout, including a fully built-out laundry, bonus flex space and custom-lit primary closet. Upgrades include dual-zone A/C, tankless water heater, EV charger, smart irrigation, recessed lighting/smart switches and centralized networking/AV infrastructure. Set on approx 13,750sf, the grounds feature numerous fruit trees, lawn, garden areas and a covered pergola/patio. Minutes to Westgate, Cupertino, and Saratoga; near Lawrence Expy, Saratoga Ave, Hwy 85/280, and major Silicon Valley employment centers. Country Lane Elementary, Moreland Middle, and Prospect High.

Wildfire hazard designation
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.
