This is the kind of home that buyers look for but seldom find - beautifully updated, meticulously maintained, and tucked away at the end of a quiet gated enclave of 11 homes. In this community, neighbors know each other, families stay many years, and their kids safely play in the street. The same owners lovingly cared for this custom home for 15 years, spending $350,000 on thoughtful improvements designed for long-term living, not resale. Planned as their forever home, an unexpected job relocation now creates a rare opportunity to own this turnkey gem. The backyard rivals a private resort. A 2023 saltwater sport pool features a dark pebble finish, premium silver travertine decking, color LED lighting, and smart-home automation. An outdoor shower, multiple pergolas, tranquil fountain, smart drip irrigation, and fruit trees complete a low-maintenance outdoor retreat that's perfect for both relaxing and entertaining. Panoramic views of majestic oak, maple and eucalyptus create a peaceful connection to nature. The 2023 gourmet kitchen showcases custom soft-close cabinetry, dual sinks and ovens, quartz countertops, a walk-in pantry and an induction cooktop with gas plumbing available. The open-concept layout flows seamlessly into the dining nook and family room, highlighted by recessed lighting, a gas fireplace, and a wall of windows framing beautiful backyard views. Nine-foot ceilings rise into soaring vaulted spaces in the formal living and dining rooms, while refinishable wide-plank hardwood flows throughout. A downstairs bedroom and full bath provide ideal flexibility for guests, multi-generational living, or a private office. Upstairs, the oversized primary suite offers a true retreat with a fireplace, sitting area, spa-like bath, and walk-in closet, alongside three additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a versatile flex loft. Energy-efficient features include a 2020 tankless water heater and whole-house fan. Ethernet and central vacuum plumbing throughout, abundant storage, fresh interior and exterior paint and a concrete tile roof with a 2026 full maintenance and a transferable warranty. The cul-de-sac feels like a safe extension of the home for biking, rollerblading & play, while keyed access to the adjacent park offers walking paths, grassy fields, a playground & six new pickleball courts. Minutes from the American River Parkway, hospitals, shopping, dining and Hwy 50. Homes with this level of quality, privacy and completeness are rare. This is the one.
