About This Home

As of September 2025

Must see, tastefully updated main home with separate carriage house on nearly one third acre lot with oak covered ridge line view in super charming Glen Ellen Village. Down a private lane and situated along the Calabazas Creek with green screen privacy, the 4-bed/3-bath (two en suite, one upstairs for tree house feel or one downstairs with single level advantages) main house features an open kitchen with large Carrara marble island, farmhouse sink, stainless appliances, cherry hardwood floors, pantry, and skylights that bathe the rooms in gentle light. Bathrooms with a lux feel of walk-in tiled showers, lighted mirrors and bidets. Primary bedroom fireplace, newer heat pump a/c plus mini-split upstairs. Owner owned solar with back up battery. Large front and backyard decks look out at mature oak, sycamore, Japanese maples, plum and apple trees. Enjoy indoor/outdoor lifestyle with games of Petanque in the backyard. Alternately, if you want there is room for pool. Glen Ellen features multiple destination restaurants, winding creeks, an iconic bridge over which the annual Jack London Yacht Race is launched. It is dialed in, all here and waiting for you.
