Affordable home in Land Park
New Land Park Listing Offered Under Half a Million
This new Land Park listing is the only home between the popular boundaries of Riverside and Freeport that is offered at a price of less than $500,000. Amazingly, the prices in this particular rectangle of homes in Land Park average about $635,000 over the past 90 days of sales. Even the smaller homes in Upper Land Park, between I-5 and Riverside, average almost $450,000 over the past 90 days of sales. It’s a strong market in Land Park, a seller’s market, which is a good time to be for sale if you’re a seller. It’s also a good time to tour homes in Land Park if you’re a buyer because the trend in pricing is moving up. A rising tide lifts all boats. Get yours while you can.
As a Land Park Realtor and long-time resident, I am excited about my new Land Park listing because it’s a home guaranteed to make a buyer fall in love. That’s a recipe for happy buyers and happy sellers and a happy escrow! It’s got these space-agey columns, almost like futuristic designs from The Jetsons, which separate the formal dining area from the living room with its period brick fireplace, making it one gigantic open space for entertaining. Original wall lighting, recessed ceiling. Gorgeous hardwood floors, too. French-doors leading from an enclosed porch off the dining room to a private side-yard fenced patio.
The layout is perfect. All the rooms are located in the right spot and spaced appropriately. There is nothing weird about this house, and there are many unique features to adore. For example, the kitchen is pristine, calming seafoam-and-white glass subway tiles complement the granite counters, and the original cabinets from 1938 have been restored and painted a glossy white. There is a plenty of storage, a dishwasher, breakfast nook featuring built-ins and a pantry. The home seems more spacious than its 1,369 square feet noted in our Sacramento County Assessor records.
Wait until you see the size of the bedrooms! Much larger than many homes with two bedrooms. Plus, there is an additional room that could be called a third bedroom as it has a regular window, two windows in fact overlooking the pretty back yard, but we call it a den. It’s not nearly as large as the bedrooms. The den is a perfect place to set up your home office, accessible from one of the bedrooms and also the hall. The bath features a clawfoot tub with shower and a heated floor near the tub under the ceramic.
Off the kitchen is another door leading to the back yard, where you’ll find a raised and covered wood deck with a pergola. There is also a small laundry room attached to the back of the garage with washer and dryer hookups and a sink. Or, you could use a stacked unit where there is space for it in the kitchen pantry, but some people prefer not to listen to the washer and dryer while in use; hence the separate laundry room out back. The added bonus to the delightful new listing in Land Park is the detached two-car garage. It can be a challenge to find Land Park homes with garages.

You Can Buy Your First Home in Land Park This Weekend
There is no better market for sellers of homes in Land Park than a seller’s real estate market. That’s because the beautiful homes in Land Park will sell for far more than they could ever fetch in a normal market, and even the ugly homes look much prettier after a few drinks at the midnight bar of Sacramento real estate. Everybody is happy, dancing in the streets, except for the home buyers. Some buyers hoping to purchase their first home in Land Park keep losing out due to the competition and low inventory.
Well, here is your chance, Land Park home buyers, to buy your first home in desirable Land Park, and you all should have an equal playing ground. You might have noticed this home as a Coming Soon listing in Zillow over the past few days, but today your dream home is officially on the market and available to see. If you haven’t yet called a mortgage broker to obtain a preapproval letter, which you will need if you want to make a purchase offer, get hoppin. Put down that Starbucks latte, whip out your cellphone and call your loan officer Dan Tharp at 916.257.1470. We are holding an open house on Sunday, too, from 2 to 4 PM. If all goes as planned, the sellers would like to select an offer by Sunday night. You’ve got plenty of time to get your finances dolled up to buy your first home in Land Park.
This is a home built in 1950, so it has much of the original detailing that made homes in that period so popular: hardwood floors, tiled kitchen counters and baths, large rooms, a raised foundation constructed when workers still professed pride in their professions, built-ins and a brick fireplace, plaster walls to insulate against our hot Sacramento summer days, but it also has modern conveniences such as central heat and air, plus a bonus room on the second floor for an office and a step-down family room with a screened-in porch out back.
In addition to the double sunlit bedrooms, the home features 2 baths, which is a hard-to-find feature in homes under $400,000 in Land Park. The second bath is captivating, with a jetted bathtub, brilliant blue Spanish tile, an antique pull-chain toilet, a skylight, extra storage and a vanity of timeless design. Your guests will love this bath, which is located off the family room.
Of course, there is a garage and a big yard. The yard is drought resistant and wonderfully landscaped with many gorgeous spring flowers in full bloom. You will discover cleverly crafted entertainment areas, a giant redwood tree shades part of the yard, and a fenced in vegetable garden. It doesn’t get any better than this. If you’re looking to buy a home in Land Park, come see.
