Pool Home in Davis is Ready for You in Lake Alhambra Estates

Pool home in Davis

This is such a beautiful pool home in Davis, and sadly it’s gone through a string of bad-luck buyers. It cries out for a buyer who will love and appreciate the home. One set of buyers begged us to take their offer while they sold their existing home. They swore up and down this was their dream home, and they would do anything to buy it. Fortunately, they hired a good listing agent who quickly sold their home and set the path to closing. Then, all of a sudden, without warning, without explanation, those buyers canceled the sale of their existing home and also canceled buying this gorgeous pool home in Davis. We are left to surmise that maybe they can’t afford it or don’t want to afford it. Who knows?

It leaves the opportunity available for you to buy this pool home in Davis now. For a long time, the seller worked on getting this home ready for market. Getting ready for the market meant complying with the City of Davis Resale Inspection. We now have the occupancy certificate, and all is good.

Most buyers tell us they love the layout. When you walk into the home, you will see all hardwood floors except for the oversized ceramic flooring in the kitchen. Off to the right is a formal living room that has been converted into an office, featuring a wall of built-in desks, shelves and bookcases. Off to the left is the formal dining room that is big enough for a dining room table that seats a dozen. Straight ahead is the remodeled kitchen with granite counters, island, 5 burner Jenn-Air gas cooktop, including a huge space for a breakfast nook.

You will also find a big family room with fireplace on the main level as well. At the back of the home is a 600-square-foot or so room addition that is a sunroom with heat, AC and dual ceiling fans. The sellers use this room as a retreat during our hot summer months in Davis. As a way to escape the heat after swimming. In fact, the seller says he spent $200,000 on improvements to Los Cerros and the back yard. The yard features an outdoor kitchen, 59 drains, flagstone, custom built-in stone benches, two waterfalls, and is the seller’s pride and joy.

All four bedrooms are upstairs, including a big master suite with plenty of extra closet space. The main square footage, according to the Sacramento County Assessor is 2,772 (with gross including the sunroom at 3,544), but we have not verified that.

California Realtor Presents New Listing for Sale in Davis

new listing for sale in davis

New listing for sale in central Davis is located at 545 Antioch Drive.

When a new listing for sale in Davis comes on the market, all of the Realtors in town snap to attention. Say what you like about Davis, and you know what some people say, right? That it’s the 1960s gone wrong or the jokes about how many from a Davis committee it takes to turn a lightbulb or, even the worse stuff, like comparing the beautiful, warm community of Davis to a police state during a certain time period, when the facts are none of those things, especially if you live in Davis.

In my real estate office at Lyon, I often hear agents say that if you send your children to school in Davis, yes, you might pay $100,000 more for a home in Davis over Sacramento, but think of all the money you’re saving preparing your kids for college. Davis schools enjoy a good reputation. Plus, the vibrant area offers quaint small town charm near a big city. It boasts the University of California at Davis and the Mondavi Center, what’s not to love about Davis?

Formal living room and dining room at 545 Antioch Drive in Davis, CA.

The drive time is 15 minutes to get from my home in Land Park to my new listing for sale in Davis; yet it’s a world away, over the serene and scenic causeway, like traveling to another time zone. Where people never leave. They might say they want to buy a home in Sacramento but they tend to stay in Davis.

This new listing is located in the central city, smack dab in the middle of everything yet nestled in a quiet neighborhood with tree-canopied sidewalks, little traffic, an idyllic area where you hear birds singing and maybe the occasional lawn mower, off in the distance.

Master suite features refinished hardwood floors at 545 Antioch Drive, Davis

This new listing for sale in Davis is a mid-century home boasting single-level living space. You’ll find 3 bedrooms and 3 baths. The window in the master ensuite offers a view of an old tree in the back yard under which the former owner grew hundreds of orchids. It offers the perfect light and temperature.

Much of the interior flooring is refinished hardwood, as you would expect in a home built in 1964, yes, when the Beatles first came to America. I recall getting kicked out of grade school in 1964 for handwriting the word Beatles 500 times, in a futile attempt to win a Beatles wig through some stupid radio promo.

Family room with raised fireplace at 545 Antioch Drive, Davis, CA

In addition to a formal living room and dining, the family room off the kitchen features a raised brick fireplace and leads to the sunroom on one end and an enclosed laundry with a washer and dryer on the other.

An unusual bonus that comes with this home is the second garage. The first two-car garage is attached to the house. But through the gated drive, all the way to the back of the property, is a detached garage built in the 1920s, still standing strong.

Second garage at 545 Antioch Drive, Davis

This structure seems at least 20-feet or so high, I haven’t measured, with plenty of rafters for storage. The interior could hold 3 to 3 1/2 cars, depending on size. There are built-in shelves, workbenches, and the main door slides open to the right, letting in a lot of light, in addition to a regular entrance door. It’s clean as a whistle. You could utilize this space as a yoga or art studio or workout space or hobby area. The possibilities are endless. Your vision, this space; it could become a reality.

This new listing for sale in Davis is ready to move into. Yes, like many buyers today, you might possess an uncontrollable urge to update the kitchen, but it’s perfectly fine just the way it is.
