If you've got nearly $3 million and want to spend it on a San Jose home once occupied by the former coach of the San Jose Sharks, this property is for you.

The home

The home itself doesn't necessarily scream San Jose Sharks. Instead, 2400 Lansford Ave. is a fairly ubiquitous abode, a five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath single-family built in 2008, offering 3,470 square feet.

Inside there is a two-story entryway with a 20 foot-ceilings. Two living room areas, each with fireplaces, are bisected by a stairwell leading to the second floor.

On ground level, there's also a formal dining room, a so-called and so-oft mentioned "chef's kitchen," and patio access through french doors.

The master bedroom enjoys a private deck, fireplace, and a huge walk-in closet.

Outside

The lot itself is 8,143 square feet.

The yard is the star of this property. There's a large, drought-defiant green lawn, a patio, gas fire pit, and a "custom built pergola with chandelier for al fresco dining," per the listing.

The market

This property at 2400 Lansford Ave. sold in 2010 for $1.71 million. Now, that asking price is $2.499 million. It's a steep ask, but the location is close to both top schools and the Google Campus, as well as downtown San Jose.

And the San Jose real estate markets is a bit sharky as well, in keeping with our Sharks theme. Sales comps in the last 30 days put the value of this home at $2,547,642.
