Remarks

Follow the winding road and cross the bridge to 861 Dorel Drive, where San Jose Highlands delivers a rare foothill oasis steps from the scenic Penitencia Creek Trail and Alum Rock Park. This sprawling single-story residence redefines elevated living with 4 bedrooms, a separate family room, formal dining and living areas, plus a detached office all laid out on more than a 1/4 acre of land. Wake up to sweeping hill, canyon, and iconic Silicon Valley views while enjoying year-round creek sounds in total privacy, with no rear or side neighbors. Originally designed and built by the developer of San Jose Highlands with extra bells and whistles, the home features high-end remodel finishes from top brands, soaring high ceilings, a forever tile roof, owned solar system, central A/C, and natural light through large glass doors. The landscaping includes 12 palm trees and drought-resistant landscaping, complemented by an extended driveway with boat parking and a 2-car attached garage. Perfect as a forever home with ADU potential, this house belongs to the top-rated Noble Elementary, Piedmont Middle, and Piedmont High School district.
