1416 Glen Ellen Way, San Jose
Welcome to your private haven in the sought-after Dry Creek neighborhood of Willow Glen. This 4BR/2.5BA +office ranch home exudes sophistication and understated elegance. With its manicured front yard, sparkling central pool, and enormous lounge area, 1416 Glen Ellen Way epitomizes California indoor-outdoor living. Mature flowering fruit trees dot the sprawling backyard; you can dine al fresco under the stars, or unwind planting a veggie or flower garden. This home’s layout, lot size, and location are simply unparalleled. It’s no wonder one family has loved this unique property for more than 55 years! Now it’s your turn.
As you enter, you're immediately drawn to the smartly designed floor plan. A bright, white kitchen—graced with quartz countertops, new stainless steel appliances, and abundant storage—sits at the heart of the home. The primary bedroom offers privacy and peace; your suite is complete with dual closets, dual-sink vanities, and direct pool access. Three more bedrooms are tucked on this side of the home. On cool evenings, gather in the beautifully lit formal living room or cozy family room to tell stories around a wood-burning fireplace; entertaining is a breeze.
An additional great room/office provides the perfect backdrop for an art studio, children's bonus room, or second primary suite. This versatile space speaks to multigen living. Conveniences include new lighting, a spacious laundry room, and a SimpliSafe security system. The extra-large two-car garage features a recently epoxy-coated floor, generous storage, and ample refrigerator/freezer space. And if 484 sq ft of painted concrete-floored basement doesn't suffice for your wine cellar, this oversized flat lot provides endless expansion opportunities — the only limit is your imagination!
You’re just minutes away from vibrant downtown Willow Glen where you'll find an array of dining, shopping, and fitness options. Yet, the home itself rests in a quiet prestigious neighborhood, offering the perfect blend of urban convenience and suburban serenity. Easy access to commuter routes connect you to local tech giants as well as to the San Jose airport. Various nearby parks and excellent schools add to the home's appeal. Enjoy day trips? Planning a getaway couldn’t be easier: it’s a short drive to the scenic coastlines of Pebble Beach, Carmel, and Santa Cruz. In short, this is a rare opportunity to own a slice of paradise in one of Willow Glen's most desirable enclaves. Don’t let it slip away!
