About This Home

As of April 2026

Stunning North Willow Glen Ranch, where charm, space & thoughtful design come together on an impressive ~11,000 sq.ft. lot tucked w/in a peaceful cul-de-sac. Wide streets & a welcoming neighborhood where many residents have lived for decades create a sense of community that is increasingly hard to find. This beautifully remodeled California ranch blends classic character w/ modern Scandinavian-inspired design, emphasizing natural light, clean lines, & warm white-oak tones throughout. The heart of the home is the open-concept kitchen/dining/living space reimagined during a major permitted renovation to create a seamless gathering area centered around a large island & filled w/ soft afternoon light. Easy sight-lines connect to the expansive backyard, ideal for entertaining/play, or relaxing under the trees w/ Meyer lemon & lime nearby. The oversized lot offers flexibility rarely found in this area, w/ room to expand, garden, or create your ideal outdoor retreat. 400 sq.ft. Permitted Accessory Structure w/ toilet & shower offers versatile space for guests/extended family/private retreat. Major improvements include baths, updated electrical panel, newer roof, HVAC, flooring, windows, & EV charging. Just moments from the shops, dining, & charm of Willow Glen, yet quietly tucked away.
