3144 Todd Way is a San Jose home that has been genuinely lived in, deeply cared for, and thoughtfully improved over time.
The story of this home is one of intention. In 2018, the owners undertook a comprehensive renovation that touched nearly every system and surface -- kitchen, bathrooms, hardwood flooring, copper plumbing, electrical, LED lighting, and HVAC. Walls came down to open the kitchen to the living and dining areas, and from that point forward the large center island with quartz countertops became the natural gathering place for everything that matters. Homework, cooking, long conversations. It all happened right there.
The interior carries a warmth that photographs can only partially capture. Hardwood floors run through every room in excellent condition. Interior shutters filter the California light beautifully. The primary suite offers a quiet retreat with a generous walk-in closet, and two and a half bathrooms serve the home with comfort and style -- each updated as part of the 2018 renovation.
Practicality runs as deep as the aesthetics. The metal roof was installed by a previous owner with fire safety in mind -- the kind of detail that speaks to how this home has always been cared for. Double-pane windows and central air conditioning keep every room comfortable through every season. Owned solar (8 panels, NEM 2.0, installed 2022) transfers to the new owner, locking in a legacy rate plan no longer available to new solar customers -- a meaningful financial advantage that compounds over time. A tankless water heater and whole-house water filtration system round out a suite of upgrades built for the long term.
Step outside and the oversized 7,068 square foot lot opens into something genuinely special. A patio anchors the outdoor living space, and the backyard is home to a working edible garden that includes pomegranate, fig, avocado, orange, and lime trees alongside rosemary and sage. The kind of backyard where kids sneak oranges straight off the tree and nobody minds. Front landscaping was completed in 2026, adding fresh curb appeal to a home that has always made a strong first impression.
The location delivers on every front. Camden Community Center, Cambrian Park Plaza, Los Gatos Creek Trail, and Houge Park are all within easy reach. Target, Home Depot, and everyday conveniences are just minutes away. Quick access to Highways 85 and 17 connects the neighborhood effortlessly to the broader South Bay and the heart of Silicon Valley. Excellent schools serve the area -- buyers to verify eligibility.
Some homes are updated. This one was transformed -- by owners who loved it, improved it with care, and are ready to pass it on to the next family who will do the same.
