Timeless Spanish Elegance in the Heart of Vendome
Welcome to 536 Losse Ct., San Jose—an exceptionally charming and truly one-of-a-kind Spanish-style residence nestled in the historic Vendome neighborhood. Built in 1936, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home spans 2,223 square feet of thoughtfully curated living space, blending romantic period details with tasteful modern updates—all set on a beautifully landscaped 5,335 sq. ft. lot.
From the moment you arrive, you're welcomed by a majestic 100-year-old Juniper tree and lush landscaping that complements the storybook Spanish-tiled entry. Step inside to a grand foyer with original tile work and a sweeping staircase that sets the tone for the home’s timeless charm.
The sunken living room, framed by a custom wrought iron gate, is anchored by a stunning Spanish-tiled fireplace with hand-engraved detailing. Soaring wood beam ceilings, a grand arched window with copper awning, and tile-clad niches for artwork and collectibles complete the space. Across the hall, the formal dining room features period crown molding, original sconces, and designer light fixtures, flowing seamlessly into a warm, inviting kitchen.
The kitchen is a true showpiece—featuring luxurious tile floors, wood cabinetry with designer hardware, a 36” gas range, a suite of stainless steel appliances, and two sets of glass doors that open to the backyard. A sunny eat-in nook with a glass block wall is the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee. A flexible bonus space nearby can serve as a home office, playroom, or second dining area. The powder room on the main floor includes a pedestal sink with charming filigree accents.
Upstairs, all three bedrooms are generously sized and filled with natural light. The primary suite features Marvin wood windows, blackout blinds, custom built-in cherry wood closet system, and a bathroom adorned with custom Spanish tile, an antique vanity with copper sink, and a stall shower. The hall bathroom maintains its original charm with Spanish tile, a separate tub with a lion’s mouth spout, and a freshly painted finish.
Out back, enjoy your private oasis with a paver patio, multiple planter boxes, and mature trees. Your personal orchard includes two types of orange trees, a Meyer lemon, avocado, and a prolific “fruit salad” tree producing plums, peaches, and nectarines. A concrete pad and electrical are already in place for your dream hot tub. The detached garage, complete with arched custom entry door, epoxy floors, and finished walls, is ideal for a gym, office, or extended indoor-outdoor living space.
