An Absolutely Stunning Remodel in South Natomas for Sale
Some homes, like this gorgeous remodel in south Natomas for sale, simply blow you away. One look is all it will probably take for a buyer to fall in love. The seller has impeccable taste and she personally selected the improvements. Sleek, clean lines. Modern and contemporary. Very European, as well. Not a part of the place was overlooked. Not a door knob, not a faucet, nor a light fixture, it all blends and works seamlessly together. You certainly cannot tell this home was built in 1979.
You know how you see some remodels, and the sellers cut corners or remodeled everything except, say, the master bath. When they do remodels like that, it seems like they don’t care. The sellers rationalize it to themselves and say it gives the buyer the opportunity to finish the project, but buyers do not want to finish projects. Buyers want the work already done for them. It looks like they gave up when they don’t finish.
When part of the home is finished and part of it is left untouched, stuff can stick out like a sore thumb. I looked at photos of another new listing, somebody else’s of course, and at the top of the stairs sat an older built-in oak cabinet. The whole bottom floor featured rich chocolate cabinets, new hardware, and then there’s this ugly thing sitting on the stair landing.
But not this stunning remodel in south Natomas. No sirree. This home is immaculate. You will undoubtedly appreciate the extensive use of soft neutral colors and the very HOT color this season of gray tones. It features 5 bedrooms and 3 baths, and is over 2,000 square feet. Buyers will swoon over this kitchen with its Jenn-Air appliances, Kraus double sink with pre-rinse faucet, quartz counters and gorgeous newer cabinets. Its planked flooring on the main level mixes with Travertine in the step-down family room featuring chilled wine storage and a fireplace.
Now, before you ask, yes, there is a bedroom on the first floor plus a full bath. That is a huge selling point these days, especially among buyers who have elderly family members living with them. All of the bedroom upstairs are remodeled with ceiling fans, and the 5th bedroom features a large trex balcony. Custom blinds open from the top or bottom.
The baths are sparkling, of course. Extensive use of glass. Subway tile. Porcelain or Travertine floors. Newer fixtures. In the master bath, you’ll find quartz counters, dual sinks, a custom sink vanity and an enormous walk-in shower.
The pièce de résistance is the beautiful yard and the living space extension beyond the fence. This might sound confusing, but most of the property owners along this greenbelt area have claimed an extension of space beyond their lot and care for it. The city has not objected for the past 25 years, according to the sellers. They built a basketball court, a covered picnic area, complete with a slab, picnic benches, picnic table and an overhang. Including raised garden beds. I have not verified this information and buyers will need to do their due diligence.
But hey, no neighbors behind you. Just a beautiful green park. With your private amenities. In the yard, there is a covered spa for those much needed late-night soaks in bubbles, and a very pretty flower garden.
Let’s face it, you won’t find anything like this stunning remodel in south Natomas. Why not come to our open house on Sunday and see for yourself? April 15, 2018, hours are 2:00 to 4:00 PM, hosted by the incredible Barbara Dow from the Elizabeth Weintraub Team.

Hamptons Village 6 Tides Edge Place Closed Escrow
When I interviewed with the sellers to sell their Hamptons Village home, they had already talked with a bunch of other Natomas Realtors. I don’t know how I got into this on the tail end of the situation, but I knew when I walked out I had the listing. Other agents generally do not sell real estate the way I do it. Further, they don’t have my four decades of experience. As one guy put it to me yesterday, he wasn’t even born when I started to sell real estate, and he’s 44.
Unless a seller is hellbent on a cheap commission, I generally win my listing appointments. I have so much information to share, I often bowl over sellers. The first thing I explained to these first-time home sellers was I would always have their back. I would do everything in my power to make sure we chose the right buyers because the last thing they needed was to have the truck packed to move out of state and whammo, the buyer can’t or won’t close escrow.
My practice is built on my experience. Every time I close an escrow, I utilize the past thousands of sales I’ve closed. I try to anticipate what can go wrong. And I sell for top of market. I first checked the value in Zillow. Not because it’s right but because many sellers do. Zillow showed a value of $341. I then ran the comps in Realist, which showed $316K. I prepared my own CMA and it came up with a value of $310K. However, after I met with the sellers and saw their home, I knew the values needed to be tweaked.
I compared their home to all of the sold comps and adjusted for their stunning updates. It’s amazing what you can get from Ikea these days. Even the drawers feature interior lights. Then I suggested they make a couple of small improvements and helped them to work with the furniture they had to stage the place. It did not require professional home staging. Some homes, believe it or not, do not need it.
My suggested sales price for this home in Hamptons Village was $359K. Other agents misinterpreted the pricing for this home. I also prepared the sellers for multiple offers. Fabulous open house, but only two offers were the result. One offer was less than list price at $350K. What are buyers thinking? Don’t their agents educate them about the seller’s market? The other offer was $360K. The seller was very happy.
But here is the kicker. I suggested to the sellers they counter the offer to $365K. My intuition said they could get it. When I assess a situation, I feel it is my job to tell the seller if — based on my extensive experience and negotiation skills — I think they can get more. I explained all of the reasons why, and the sellers went for it. Sure enough, the buyers accepted the sellers’ counter to pay an additional $5,000.
Hey, I earn my standard real estate commission the old fashioned way. I work for it. Clients pay me for my expertise and advice. Not only that, but we closed escrow on this Hamptons Village home without any repairs or credits. Well, there was the part when I called the seller and they started to describe all the repairs they were planning to do. Huh? What? Why? Turns out they read the home inspection and thought they were required to fix the stuff that was mentioned. No, no, no.
They were even happier when I told them to cancel the shipment of light fixtures and to undo the appointments for workers to install and repair things. AS IS means no repairs. No credits. No renegotiations. It was the smoothest escrow in a long time. Great agent on the other side. I didn’t have to beg for the contingency releases. We closed right on schedule on January 4th.
The sellers felt confident they did not leave any money on the table. I imagine I’ll get a 5-star review.
European-Style Remodel in Hamptons Village Open Sunday
6 Tides Edge Place, Sacramento, CA 95835 is listed by Elizabeth Weintraub and Lyon Real Estate.
The seller of this beautifully remodeled home in Hamptons Village hoped I would fall in love with his design and selection of materials. He was correct. Absolutely right. It blew me away when I walked in the door, so I know it will have the same affect on a home buyer. His choice of color and mix of subtle hues of gray with brilliant white is simply gorgeous.
It’s not just the open floor plan that will entice buyers. It’s the shades of gray in all the right places. It’s the gray wood floors on the main level. Maybe the waterproof vinyl plank floors in the updated baths. Or, maybe it’s the fabulous kitchen I wish I had now in my own house.
Spectacular European-Style kitchen will inspire you to cook!
For starters, the fronts of the cabinets are Italian. The drawers pull out and soft close. But wait, there is more. In addition to the under cabinet lighting, you will also find interior cabinet lights that illuminate automatically when you open the drawer. Of course, the drawers are soft closing. The upper cabinets feature glass.
All of the appliances are stainless and made by Bosch. The pre-rinse faucet is enormous. The double stainless steel sink is extra deep with double drawers below it. You might make the mistake of assuming the counters are granite but they are not. They are quartz.
Dining area and living room feature gray wood floors and contemporary fixtures.
This is a kitchen that will make you want to learn to cook like a gourmet chef, even if all you can do is now is barely boil water.
For functionality you can’t beat 3 bedrooms, a loft and 3 baths, plus indoor laundry. So much about this home is focused on saving energy and reducing carbon footprints. There is a NEST thermostat that controls the HVAC, carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors and the garage door opener, all from an app. You’ll find radiant barriers in the attic, too.
A loft at the top of the stairs acts as a hub for all of the bedrooms.
The thing I really like about this particular home is its location. It is centrally located in Natomas, just off East Commerce and north of Del Paso. Orientation is east, and it is a corner lot, with lots of windows, all beveled glass panes. Plus, it is on a small cul-de-sac so no through traffic on that street.
Are you ready to buy? Here is a tip, if you ask for the washer, dryer and refrigerator in the purchase contract, those personal appliances can stay. This is completely turn-key. Nothing for you to do to move in.
Corner lot back yard is larger than most, features raised garden beds to grow your own organic.
We extend this invitation to stop by our open house on Sunday, December 3rd, from 1:00 to 4:00 PM, hosted by the amazing Amy McMullan from the Elizabeth Weintraub Team. You can call Amy at 916.737.6664.

Looking for a Hot New Listing in Natomas Real Estate?
Plenty of curb appeal is evident at 5802 Amnest Way in Natomas.
Sellers sometimes ask: Elizabeth, how is it you know Natomas real estate so well when you live in Land Park? Partly I suppose they don’t realize that top producers sell all over the county and in neighboring counties. Not everybody realizes that an agent can be a neighborhood specialist without living on the street. It’s the professional knowledge and length of time in the business, not the location of the agent, that matters.
Besides, I’ve become intimately familiar with Natomas real estate during the downturn in Sacramento and all of the short sales in those neighborhoods. You can name a street, and I’ve probably sold a house in Natomas on it or near it. That’s why I was very excited when the seller of my new Natomas listing called. I explained that I’m still selling homes in Natomas even though I am on my wor-cation in Hawaii. I don’t have to be there in person to make the magic happen.
This new listing in Natomas real estate went on the market yesterday around noon. Within a few hours, it received 12 client hits and two dozen agents, on the last business day of 2016, no less. It’s positioned beautifully in MLS, and is the 5th least expensive home in the ZipCode of 95835, offering the most space. The Northpointe Park Village neighborhood is in high demand, too, just south of Elkhorn.
The sellers of this piece of Natomas real estate installed hardwood flooring in 2015.
If the beautiful wood flooring in the main level doesn’t immediately demand your attention, the open floor plan will. That’s the type of home buyers desire today. The kitchen features striking black appliances and engineered stone counters. All 3 bedrooms are located on the second floor, with two baths up and one bath downstairs.
Spacious master features a modern ceiling fan with room for a big screen TV.
The family room is enormous, with a gas fireplace and a media nook. If you’re not into yard work and prefer a low maintenance back yard, this home is perfect for you. You’ve got uncovered patios, but not lawn in the back or on the sides. Just the front yard is green, and it’s on automatic sprinklers. It doesn’t get any more carefree than that.
Great view from the second floor of a private farm situated on several acres. No neighbors peering down on your home from behind. I say old chap, it’s time to moooooove.
5802 Amnest Way, Sacramento, CA 95835 is offered exclusively by Elizabeth Weintraub at Lyon Real Estate, at $345K. Yes, even from Hawaii, I answer my cellphone and can arrange to show you this home. Call for your private showing today at 916.233.6759.
Natomas Realtor Presents Home for Sale in Riverdale HOA
Clubhouse at Riverdale North is a few blocks away from 3341 Tice Creek Way.
This Natomas Realtor loves the Beazer-built homes in the Riverdale HOA in Sacramento, and so will you. Most of these homes were built from 2006 to 2008, so they are much newer than other parts of Natomas. Not only are they newer, but they are more affordable, with prices ranging in the $220,000 to $270,000 range, depending on square footage, amenities, location and condition. The Riverdale HOA clubhouse is shown above. When I was there shooting photos, I noticed the HOA has just drained the pool.
The seller called this Natomas Realtor because he had hoped to hire one of the top short sale agents in Sacramento. I was happy to oblige and calm his fears about the short sale by letting him know that this Natomas Realtor has sold more short sales over 7 counties than any other agent for the past 10 years. I checked the stats. He cannot possibly hire a Sacramento short sale Realtor with more direct experience than Elizabeth Weintraub. Plus, I have sold my fair share of homes in the Riverdale HOA, including having filmed an HGTV House Hunters 2009 show featuring short sale homes in the Riverdale HOA.
Natomas short sale, 3341 Tice Creek Way, is for sale at $225K.
You really can’t beat the price of $225,000 for this home in Natomas at 3341 Tice Creek Way. Another home of identical square footage recently sold at $238,000. The reason this price is so low is because there is no carpeting on the lower level. With the exception of the ceramic tiled entry, the flooring is slab and the carpeting has been removed. This will make it easy for a new buyer to install the type of flooring everybody wants, which is engineered hardwood.
It’s a perfect home for a first-time home buyer or an investor. Rents are sometimes higher than mortgage payments in this neck of the woods, which means a first-time home buyer might actually be saving money to buy this home over renting it. And an investor might also gain a bit of cash flow, which is the cornerstone of most investments.
Kitchen features maple cabinets and ceramic counters
It features an open kitchen and family room on the first level, plus a half bath. The garage is attached. There are ceramic counters in the kitchen, maple cabinets, a built-in dishwasher, microwave, gas cooking range, separate oven and a free-standing refrigerator. At the top of the stairs on the second floor you’ll find a built-in office area, with a desk and cabinets. There is a second bedroom in the hall, plus a full hall bath, including a master suite with a full bath featuring a tub with a shower.
3341 Tice Creek Way, Sacramento, CA 95833 is offered exclusively by your Natomas Realtor Elizabeth Weintraub at Lyon Real Estate at $225,000. It will be held open this Sunday, October 23, 2016, from 2:00 to 4:00 PM, hosted by the incredible Josh Amolsch from the Elizabeth Weintraub Team. Call 916.233.6759 for more information.
