Perched on 2.8 private acres in the picturesque foothills of San Jose, 5550 Sweigert Road offers a rare combination of breathtaking views, modern efficiency, and peaceful country living. Tucked behind a gated entrance at the end of a quiet road, this exceptional single-story estate feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle, yet remains just minutes to Hwy. 680. Spanning approximately 2,864 square feet, this thoughtfully designed home features four bedrooms, three and one-half bathrooms, and an expansive floor plan made for gathering. Hardwood flooring flows throughout the home, creating warmth and continuity from room to room. Formal living and dining spaces provide elegant entertaining options, while the open-concept kitchen and family room serve as the heart of the home. Designed to embrace its extraordinary setting, large sliding doors off the formal living room open directly to the front terrace and infinity-edge pool, blurring the line between indoor and outdoor living and creating an unforgettable setting for entertaining and dining under the stars. The owners thoughtfully positioned the infinity-edge pool in the front yard—where the views are at their finest—transforming the approach to the home into a private resort experience. Overlooking the rolling foothills and sparkling lights of San Jose, this remarkable vantage point offers a daily reminder of why people dream of living here. A standout feature is the spacious sunroom, complete with four large sliding doors that open seamlessly to the back deck and patio, creating the perfect setting for game nights, celebrations, or simply soaking in the surrounding beauty. Designed with sustainability and efficiency in mind, the property includes owned solar for both the home and pool, along with a Tesla battery system. Additional amenities include two storage sheds, raised garden beds, and ample space to enjoy the privacy and possibilities that come with nearly three acres of land. Private, peaceful, and remarkably convenient, 5550 Sweigert Road offers the serenity of country living without sacrificing access to modern conveniences.
