Stunning and Affordable Pool Home in Elk Grove

Every once in a blue moon this Sacramento real estate agent receives the opportunity to list and sell an incredibly gorgeous home that spins heads and stimulates lust of homebuyers everywhere. Because I’ve been in the business for four decades, I know it when I enter the home. It’s not just a feeling — although the feeling is part of it — it’s the instant realization when my eyes fall upon the interior that this home will drive buyers crazy. All my sensors go off.

Being in love is the reason homes sell as well as the reason many people get married. I hate to stop to think how many people would never ever get married if it weren’t for falling in love. It’s that temporary state of absolute insanity, when the vision of your loved one consumes every fiber of your body and thoughts of this loveliness floats around in your mind from the time you wake up in the morning and lurks in the background throughout daily activities, that makes life worth living for some. It’s madness. It’s nuts. And many of us would not trade this euphoria for the world.

My new listing, this spectacular pool home in Elk Grove will elicit such ecstasy, I can assure you. For starters, it’s a desirable single-story, semi-custom home built in 2006. It has a ton of upgrades and gorgeous features such as stone arches, walls of layered stone, travertine floors, large and spacious rooms, and fabulous energy in the open layout. Everywhere you look there are special touches.

The kitchen is enormous and features a breakfast nook, all of which overlooks the back-yard pool. A stone fireplace sets off the family room. You’ll find a separate formal dining room. There is more than 2,700 square feet, with 4 bedrooms and 3 baths. The master suite is located toward the back of the home and sports French doors that open to the pool.

Best of all, the piece de resistance is the resplendent back yard with its huge pool as the focal point. Off to the side of the pool on this generously sized 1/4 acre lot are a couple of patios; one patio is partially covered by a pergola. There is even a play area for children. Just imagine the summer fun that can linger way into the winter months because we are lucky enough to live in the Sacramento Valley!
