About the Property
Classic Lines. Modern Ease. Pure Rose Garden. The Art of Living Beautifully.
Tucked within one of the most treasured and tree-lined pockets of San Jose’s iconic Rose Garden, 2177 Emory Street stands as a testament to timeless craftsmanship, refined taste, and enduring care. Revered as one of the neighborhood’s most beloved streets, serene, storybook enclave where every home feels like part of a living museum of character, Emory Street invites you to slow down, breathe in the scent of the roses, and experience a home that marries classic grace with modern luxury.
Originally reimagined and renovated by De Mattei Construction, one of Silicon Valley’s most acclaimed builders, this residence has been nurtured and perfected over the course of 25 years. Each renovation and improvement done with precision, purpose, and soul. The result is a home that feels both bespoke and effortless, polished and warm, contemporary yet deeply rooted in the architectural spirit of the Rose Garden.
The Home
With 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and over 2,000 square feet of elegantly appointed living space on a generous 8,352-square-foot lot, the home offers the perfect balance of scale, light, and livability. Every detail, down to the fixtures, finishes, and flow was chosen with intention.
The Approach
The front garden is a study in order and beauty: manicured Black Diamond artificial turf, stately brick pathways and planter boxes, a covered front porch framed by updated siding, and fresh, vibrant landscaping that feels both low-maintenance and lush. This is a home that sets the tone before you even step inside: refined, inviting, and distinctly Rose Garden.
The Heart of the Home
Step through the entry and into an open-concept family room and chef’s kitchen. The true heart of this home. Vaulted ceilings and striking beams lend a sense of volume and warmth, while hardwood floors, built-in cabinetry, and Restoration Hardware sconces cast a soft, ambient glow. A gas fireplace with remote control, Rejuvenation light fixtures, and Hunter Douglas shades complete the space, making it as comfortable for quiet evenings as it is for lively gatherings. The kitchen is a dream realized for the culinary enthusiast: granite countertops, backsplash, illuminated glass display cabinets, and top-of-the-line appliances: Sub-Zero refrigerator, Viking 6-burner range, Dacor oven, microwave, and warming drawer. All of this ensures every meal is a pleasure. Under-cabinet lighting and thoughtful storage design make the space as functional as it is beautiful.
Effortless Indoor-Outdoor Living
From the living room, a full wall of La Cantina sliding glass doors dissolves the boundary between inside and out. Remote-controlled shades add comfort and sophistication, while the entire space opens fluidly onto the backyard retreat, a private sanctuary designed for relaxation and entertainment.
The Backyard Retreat
This is where California living reaches its peak: a solar-heated pool shimmers beneath a canopy of light, surrounded by artificial grass, updated hardscape, lush landscaping, and an abundance of fruit trees: mature mandarin orange, Haas avocado and Mayer lemon. The pergola, engineered to stay cool even in summer, anchors an outdoor lounge complete with a mounted TV, ceiling fan, and heating system for year-round comfort. Whether basking in the sun or gathering under the stars, the yard glows with the warmth of soft landscape lighting and thoughtful design.
Private Quarters
The primary suite is a tranquil haven, adorned with hardwood floors, Restoration Hardware sconces, Valet Custom Closet built-ins, mirrored closet doors, and custom shutters. The primary bath feels like a boutique hotel: Robern lighted mirror cabinet, custom vanity, Toto toilet, instant hot water, and Hunter Douglas shade. Every element reflects an uncompromising commitment to quality.
Two guest bedrooms offer comfort and charm, each with overhead fans, custom window shutters, and Valet closet systems. The guest bathroom is elegantly composed with a heated tile floor, custom vanity, Rejuvenation lighting, and a spa-inspired marble shower.
Additional Spaces
The expanded office and laundry area exude design continuity: hardwood floors, custom cabinetry, room for a full-sized wine fridge, and French doors, opening to a relaxing covered space. Even the garage reflects the home’s thoughtful attention to detail, with built-in storage cabinetry, pull-down attic access, and an immaculate finish.
Systems & Upgrades
Behind the beauty lies robust functionality: updated plumbing, central A/C, Nest thermostat, Ring doorbell, solar for both house & pool, EV charger, water softener, updated siding and gutters, and meticulous maintenance throughout.
The Neighborhood
Just a short stroll away from the historic San Jose Municipal Rose Garden, and moments from Santana Row, Valley Fair, The Alameda, and Downtown San Jose, this home offers both quiet retreat and vibrant connection. Proximity to Caltrain, major freeways, San Jose International Airport, and top schools such as Bellarmine College Preparatory, Stratford, and St. Martin of Tours makes this one of the most coveted locations in the Bay Area.
The Essence
2177 Emory Street is more than a home. It’s a love letter to craftsmanship and care, a living gallery of quality materials and timeless design. A turnkey residence that radiates soul, elegance, and a whisper of storybook nostalgia. On one of the most revered streets, this is the art of living beautifully in The Rose Garden.
