About 1542 Jacob Ave
Welcome to 1542 Jacob Ave, a beautifully maintained 5-bedroom, 3-bath residence offering approximately 2,452 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space in San Jose's highly desirable Cambrian neighborhood. This spacious home features an inviting floor plan with abundant natural light, generous living and entertaining areas, and seamless indoor-outdoor living.
The well-appointed kitchen opens to the main living spaces, creating an ideal setting for everyday living and entertaining. A flexible floor plan provides ample room for growing families, guests, or a home office, while the spacious primary suite offers a private retreat.
Situated on an approximately 6,000-square-foot lot, the landscaped yard provides plenty of space for outdoor dining, play, and relaxation. Additional highlights include an attached two-car garage, mature landscaping, and excellent curb appeal.
Ideally located near parks, shopping, restaurants, and major commuter routes including Highways 85, 87, and 17, this exceptional home also offers convenient access to top Silicon Valley employers. A rare opportunity to own a spacious five-bedroom home in one of Cambrian's most sought-after neighborhoods.
