Envision the Home of Your Dreams!
A peaceful rural setting along Saratoga’s Sobey Road is reminiscent of days gone by when most of the surrounding land was devoted to farmland, pastures and prolific orchards of fruit and nut trees. The quiet surroundings, except for the whinny of a horse, attracted the current owners to the property in 1973. Fast forward to 2020 and feel the same sense of tranquility when you pull off the road at 14920 Sobey Road. Behind the gated driveway is a sprawling morethan-an-acre level, corner property that offers a multitude of possibilities. Bring your vision and dreams and let this enchanting land inspire you. A treasure among Saratoga’s grand estates and charming bungalows, this stately country property features an almost 2,400 square-foot, ranchstyle home originally built in 1947. A gated courtyard offers a private entrance into the home that includes four bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms, living room, formal dining room, an eat-in kitchen, flexible space for a home gym or bonus room and a three-car garage. Classic architectural features include an exposed beam, vaulted tongue and groove ceiling, hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, dual pane windows and plates of glass framing the garden views. Many of the rooms, including the bedrooms and the eat-in kitchen, have access to the outdoor space. Updated GE appliances include a dishwasher, dual ovens, a stovetop and a refrigerator. Additional features updated throughout
the home include a new roof, updated water heater, HVAC system and duct work. The lush, parklike setting presents an inspiring canvas on which to design and create a customized outdoor dining and entertaining mecca. Romantic gardens surround the re-plastered pool, brick patio and lawns. Existing outbuildings include the possibility for a future guesthouse and greenhouse. Mature fruit and shade trees, including deodar cedars and a Hawthorne tree and multiple rose gardens dot the land that is fully fenced. A well provides water for irrigation while the home utilizes city water. Additional features include a laundry room/halfbathroom off the kitchen with extra storage. Located at the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains, Saratoga has retained that smalltown ambiance and offers excellent schools, a charming downtown and popular destinations like the Hakone Japanese Gardens, Villa Montalvo and the Mountain Winery. The private setting is only 3.3 miles to the Historic Village of Saratoga and less than three miles to all the cafes, boutiques, and restaurants in downtown Los Gatos. The fabulous location is just minutes from Highways 17 and 85 and only 14 miles to the San Jose International Airport. Enjoy easy access into Silicon Valley if you have to commute, however, you may never want to leave the warm embrace of this oneof-a-kind property.
