In theory yes, but it's not practical. Check your 401k plan documents for the rules. In my plan, it must be a "primary home purchase" and you must show "extreme immediate financial need". Then, even if you are granted the withdrawal, you are penalized by being banned from making any new contributions to your 401k for 6 months.

In other words -- find the money elsewhere.
