Resort-style amenities

Natomas Park has several 2 to 8 acre parks throughout the community, but this home is situated just a few doors down from Natomas Community Park, a 28-acre site that will ultimately include 3 sport fields, a baseball diamond, tennis courts, children's playground, and more. (Click on the park plan graphic at left to see an enlarged image).

As you enter the home, you're greeted by a spacious, well-lighted living room and formal dining area. The photo at right is taken from the front door looking in. The photo below is taken looking back the opposite way. Click on either image to see an enlarged photo.

The home is currently decorated with a touch of French Country and features custom window treatments throughout, as well as neutral, but rich wall colors, accented with a dash of contrasting paint treatment in subtle places.

The dining area easily accommodates seatings for up to ten people. Add to that a table for up to six in the kitchen and counter bar-seating for up to four (below), and you'll be the toast of holiday entertaining.

With kitchen that is open to the family room, family members can be together more comfortably and conveniently around meal times.

The kitchen features beautiful, but highly durable porcelain tile that you'll swear is marble. The back splash is accented with what appears to be hand-carved ornamental tiles. Cherry-wood cabinets are abundant and include a sizable pantry so keep everything tucked away, but easy to get to.

The upgraded dual-zone 13 seer air conditioning system and integrated SmartVent™ system keep things cool and comfortable. Ceiling fans are installed in all bedrooms so you can back-off the AC at night.

If you're a movie buff, you'll appreciate the pre-wired 5.1 surround sound (speakers not included) and cable TV hook-up in the master bedroom.

No need to worry about nosy neighbors with a view. The house has a single-story neighbor adjacent to the master, and a wild-life bird sanctuary behind the house. Birds , bullfrogs and crickets add a touch of nature when the window is left ajar. Pheasants and Jack Rabbits can also be seen now and again during the day.

Consider this a decent-size, easy-to-manage backyard with everything you need for enjoyment, right next door to a spacious wild life bird sanctuary with a large year-round pond.

Most homes in Natomas Park are surrounded by equally spacious and sizable homes. This residence benefits from a single-story next to it and a large open space preserve behind it.

Landscaped with moss-rock outcroppings, low-voltage garden lighting, and up-lighting for the maturing trees, the backyard space feels special and relaxing. A jacuzzi spa (no warranty or representation) extends the level of relaxation throughout the year.

Landscape and rain-gutter drainage has been upgraded and completed throughout the front and back yards to ensure that there is no standing water or drainage issues.

Two natural gas hook-ups have been installed–one close to the slider, the other on the other side of the patio–to facilitate easy relocation of your natural gas grill throughout the seasons.

Water here is supplied by the City of Sacramento. It is considered to be very good quality, but if you're the type who prefers soft water, a pre-plumbed drain for water-softener run-off has been located just outside the garage near the water main.

Automatic sprinklers and drip system ensure that the landscape with stay looking healthy year-round.

More space for junk?
Or more organization for what's important?

If you can't have a three-car garage, be organized. This 2-car garage comes well-equipped for storage and organization.

Custom cabinets hide shoes, valuable tools, equipment, and golf clubs, while heavy-duty storage shelves hold the rest.

The neutral epoxy-coated garage floor protects against oil stains, drips, and general messes (2-part epoxy paint is impervious to nearly all chemicals).

If you work in or around Sacramento, it would be tough to find a more convenient location than this. With easy access to all major freeways in the area, most destinations are easy to navigate to.

Just 1-1/2 hours from skiing, 30 minutes from Folsom Lake Reservoir, and minutes from the Sacramento and American Rivers, no activity is far away. Add Napa, Sonoma, Placerville, Lake Tahoe, and San Francisco to the list of destinations no more than 2 hours away and you realize why the Sacramento region was ranked 5th in the nation for median home price increases, and 5th in the nation for one-way moving trailer rentals.
