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.
