New Listings This Week in West Sacramento and Del Paso Manor

Published May 17, 2017 | By Elizabeth Weintraub

New listings this week are in West Sacramento and Del Paso Manor.

All of my new listings are following a pattern in Sacramento real estate. It seems that I list 2 or 3 homes a week, put them on the market on Friday and by the following week we are pending, generally with multiple offers. It’s been this way all year. Can’t keep anything in inventory anymore, but then I do so much of my work upfront that buyers can’t help but want to buy my new listings. Everything is turnkey and ready to go.

This week’s new listings are in West Sacramento and Del Paso Manor, two completely different types of neighborhoods and homes, except for the fact each is remodeled. The home in West Sacramento was built in 2002, features 4 bedrooms and 2 baths, and a breathtakingly beautiful back yard. I kid you not. The sellers have spent a fortune on landscaping. It features a raised deck and spa, plus a pond and waterfall.

Some of the trees includes a bay laurel, bottle brush, pineapple guava, river birch, Japanese maple, trident maple, pistash tree and Meyer lemons. It’s like a magical garden, with shade trees, a picnic area, lounging space, plus flagstone walkways.

The kitchen is updated and the baths are remodeled. You’ll find extra cabinets in the kitchen and a newer double oven. Most of the floor covering is cork, so soft on your feet! This single-story home in West Sacramento Bridgeway Lakes will be on the market on Friday at $445K.

Next in the new listings inventory is a three bedroom home, built in that wonderful year of 1950, in Del Paso Manor. This kitchen has been remodeled. It features white and gray backsplash tile, granite counters, brand new cabinets with brushed nickel hardware, a new stove, dishwasher and refrigerator, all in stainless. You’ll find mostly hardwood floors throughout, plus a family room offering access to the huge back yard.

There are storage sheds in the yard, and a covered patio. One of the storage sheds is used as a workshop, and it’s big, maybe 10 x 20 feet. This home will be available on Friday at $329K.

New Gardenland Listing Looks Straight Outta Pottery Barn

Published February 27, 2017 | By Elizabeth Weintraub

2808 American Av, Sacramento, CA 95833 is for sale at $259,000.

When I first visited this Gardenland listing in Sacramento, I kinda gave the seller a hard time about his home stager cousin. I asked him for the name of his company, asked whether the guy had ever been paid for home staging, drilled him about business cards, really questioned him thoroughly because I wasn’t certain his cousin would do an adequate job. I’m always a bit wary when sellers tell me they have family members who do real estate-related jobs because there are so many wannabes out there.

I had to eat my words. It’s a good thing I didn’t place any bets or I would be chewing on my shoes right now or forking over a hundred bucks. The home stager cousin is wiz-bang miracle worker. It’s not often that I am wrong, but I freely admit when I am. The guy is a genius. The home also looks oh-so-much better without the pool table in the living room, as evidenced by the photos below.

This is a Gardenland listing that was already beautiful to start with. It has granite counters in the kitchen, newer appliances, ceramic floors and engineered wood flooring in the main entertainment areas. The staging just made the place pop with excitement. Also, much of the furniture will be sold personally, outside of escrow, by the seller, if the buyer wants any of it. He’s very reasonable with pricing.

You’ll find 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, in addition to a formal living room, separate dining area, and a family room, which is vaulted. Also an indoor laundry room with cabinets, that comes with a washer and dryer, if you remember to ask for it in the purchase contract.

Another feature that makes this Gardenland listing unique is its huge yard. According to the Sacramento County Assessor, and this has not been confirmed by me, the lot size is .34. That’s more than one-third of an acre. Gigantic! Huge! Imagine lounging on the deck this summer under a covered umbrella, or leaning over the railing to throw your dog a stick to chase.

2808 American Avenue, Sacramento, CA 95833 is offered exclusively by your top Sacramento Realtor, Elizabeth Weintraub, and Lyon Real Estate at $259,000. Call 916.233.6759 for more information. Check out the virtual tour and photos below:
