New Listing Mirabela at Medeira in Elk Grove Features 5 Bedrooms
My whole team is excited to present this new listing in the Mirabela at Medeira subdivision built by Taylor Morrison in Elk Grove. It’s south of Elk Grove Blvd and West of Big Horn, close to several parks: Horseshoe Park and Constellation Park. This home is simply incredible. It’s the type of home that you wish the seller would leave all of her furniture, wall hangings and accessories, because it’s decorated so beautifully. The decor is modern, yet inviting with clean lines, soothing colors and all of the furnishings are so well coordinated.
If you’re looking for space and lots of bedrooms, this corner lot home is probably perfect for you. Plus, you get a special treat with this home. How does free electricity sound to you? There is no glitch or gimmick. The thing is the seller recently paid around $30,000 to install a microinverter solar panel system, and her loss is the buyer’s gain. The seller says during the summer, she runs the multiunit AC on the second floor at night, and pays no electric bill whatsoever. If she has company staying on the first floor, then her electric bill is around $20 a month (not verified by the agent).
And, OMG, the floors in this home at Mirabela at Medeira. Wait until you see the floors. Absolutely gorgeous, and they continue up the stairs. There is that sought-after first-floor bedroom and a full bath. Also a den at the front of the home, and a formal dining room area, and the open floor plan includes the spacious kitchen and adjoining family room. All together, the home features 5 bedrooms and 3 full baths, plus the den. It’s almost 2,500 square feet, per the Sacramento County Assessor. For some reason, the Assessor’s office assigned the wrong house number and street to this APN, but I caught the discrepancy, informed the seller how to change it, and it’s all corrected now.
Soft grays mostly throughout, with a bit of color in the master and a 5th bedroom. The kitchen has granite counters, an island, dark beech cabinetry, and plenty of storage. The appliances are stainless and newer, including a gas range, dishwasher and microwave. Upgraded and oversized ceramic on the kitchen floor, make a nice transition to the family room. All of the upgrades and improvements made by the seller lend an air of graciousness to this home in Mirabela at Medeira.
You’ll also find an assortment of fruit trees in the back yard: tangerine, pomegranate, peach and orange trees. There is a pergola over a sandy beach. Stone knee walls separate the stamped concrete patio from the lawn. Plus, you can’t see it in this photo, but the side yard features an enclosed dog run and kennel.
We would love to see you at our open house on Sunday, July 23rd, from 2:00 to 4:00 PM. 8109 Suarez Way, Elk Grove, CA 95757, is offered exclusively by your Elk Grove Realtor, Elizabeth Weintraub and Lyon Real Estate, at $499,000. Check out the virtual tour.
Single Level Home in Laguna Creek Features Amazing Yard
The seller of this beautiful home in Laguna Creek called me to list his home while I am on my wor-cation in Hawaii. I assured him that I would sell his home within 30 days, which is his utmost desire. I also explained that just because I do not have a physical presence in Sacramento at the moment does not mean we cannot sell his home. I’m not sure what happened with his previous Elk Grove Realtor, but it’s a different experience with me.
We talked in the morning and by noon my team member was on his doorstep to talk about why he should thank his lucky stars that Elizabeth Weintraub will be selling his home. I called him shortly after my team member left. My photographer can be over in two hours, and you’ll be on the market the following morning, I assured him. It happens this way because I make it happen.
This is beautiful home, just look at those gorgeous floors. The sellers recently installed the flooring and also updated the light fixtures by replacing them with more modern lighting with LED. I like LED because it’s such a clean, bright, white light over the dingy yellow that was popular for so many years. Besides, nobody looks good bathed in yellow light except a labrador.
In the kitchen we have a breakfast nook, which would be behind this photograph, in addition to high-back stool seating at the dining bar. The refrigerator is stainless, and the floor is ceramic. The family room features a dining option as well. This place is clean, spotless and immaculate.
Not to mention, the oak cabinets are so much nicer than white. Have you ever read a newspaper and then touched a white cabinet door? OK, I know many of you don’t know what a newspaper is anymore, but print rubs off on white things, just so you are aware. Not so with your iPad.
This covered patio with the pergola is much larger than it seems in this photo. That’s because the photographer shot the entire yard. You can see some of the landscaping is drought resistance, and look, you’ve got a raised vegetable garden. Not too big to take care of and not so small you feel cramped. This is a perfect yard.
You’ll find many upgrades in this 3-bedroom, 2 bath home in Laguna Creek. It features plantation shutters, dual pane windows, many ceiling fans, extra storage, a laundry room plus a 2-car garage. It’s almost 1,500 square feet and was built by K Hovanian in 2002. It’s located near Bruceville and Elk Grove Blvd.
7012 Prazzo Way, Elk Grove, CA 95757, is exclusively offered by Elizabeth Weintraub at Lyon Real Estate at $359K. Call 916.233.6759 for more information, but please hurry. I imagine we’ll generate extreme interest. Aloha!
Realtor Presents Affordable Elk Grove Halfplex for Sale
This Elk Grove halfplex is one of three at the moment for sale in the Elk Grove ZIP of 95758, but it is the only halfplex west of Franklin. The other two halfplexes cost $100K more+ and they are situated in Laguna, whereas this beautiful halfplex is located in the popular Foulks Ranch neighborhood of Elk Grove.
The seller originally purchased this halfplex as an owner-occupied residence for her mother, but the home is now rented to a lovely and cooperative tenant who is moving out on or before Halloween.
Along with the curvy architecture over the doorway and contemporary wall cutout, you will notice the ceiling in the living room is unusually high, probably 12 or 14 feet. It features a ceiling fan with a light that is most likely remote controlled, and the flooring looks like real hardwood, even though it is not.
The dining area is a breakfast nook nestled by the bay window in the kitchen toward the front of the home. There is a large kitchen, with a refrigerator, electric range, dishwasher and modern chocolate cabinets.
Each of the bedrooms in this Elk Grove halfplex allows for outside access to the yard through sliding doors. There are 2 bedrooms and the bath is updated. One bedroom faces the enormous back yard, and the other bedroom faces a side patio. The yard is fenced, so you can have a dog, if you like. Plus, there is a bonus shed at the back of the property line for storage.
We call the attached garage a one-and-one-half tandem, meaning you could fit 2 tiny cars or one and a half regular-sized vehicles. Or, you can just park in the driveway like most people prefer and use the garage for its intended purposes of laundry and storage.
6303 Kilconnell Dr is exclusively offered for sale by Elizabeth Weintraub at Lyon Real Estate, 916.233.6759, at $199K. Open Sunday, Oct. 2, 2016, from 2 to 4 PM.
Coming Soon Listings in Elk Grove
It was a wet and gloomy day on Friday, but that did not hold back my sunny disposition as I pulled up in front of my new Coming Soon listing in Elk Grove. This home is located just down the street from another I sold at Thanksgiving, a listing that those poor sellers almost had to report their former agent to the Cal BRE to get him to release his grip. A home that many agents vehemently disagreed with us on about the price, but did sell at list price. So, there. Spittooey on those agents. I tend to pull rabbits out of hats when needed, and that’s why sellers hire this Elk Grove Realtor.
I do the impossible.
I also do the possible with great flair. In fact, I prefer the possible over the impossible, but I take them both. The possible means my job can run somewhat smoother, providing I line up everything in advance. Preplanning is my forté. That’s why I might create a Coming Soon listing. Not every agent likes, appreciates or understands Coming Soon listings, mostly buyer’s agents, I suspect. However, from a listing agent’s point of view, a Coming Soon listing draws excitement and creates an atmosphere to generate multiple offers, providing it is the right property.
Not all of the homes in Elk Grove qualify in my mind for a Coming Soon listing. Only exceptional properties, and you know the kind of home I’m talking about right? How about a darling single-level that was previously the builder’s model home? Model homes are special. They tend to feature all sorts of upgrades and extra touches that reach buyers emotionally. Matching drapes, custom wall colors, designer features such as dual framed mirrors in the baths, inlaid tile and tiffany light fixtures; not to mention plantation shutters, crown molding, vaulted ceilings, engineered wood flooring . . .
. . . and best of all, this Coming Soon listing exists in the real world today, the Hampton Oaks community of Elk Grove. No, maybe best of all is it is priced under $300,000, which makes it very affordable for a first-time home buyer.
Check it out in the link above on Zillow: 9027 E. Valley Drive, Elk Grove, CA 95624. Showings start on Friday, February 5th, and the gala open house is Sunday, February 7th. If you’re thinking about selling a home in Elk Grove, call your top producer, Elizabeth Weintraub, at 916.233.6759.
