The file folder for my new listing in East Sacramento is decorated with artwork. I had left it on the coffee table while I walked through this darling 2-bedroom bungalow to do my agent visual inspection. One of the tenant's children used this opportunity to draw on my folder. The tenant was very apologetic, but actually, I think it adds a lot of appeal and character to an otherwise drab file folder.
This very pretty home was built in 1940 and oozes much of the original charm of that period -- scalloped trim work, hardwood floors, contrasting tiled kitchen counters and arched doorways.
Did I mention it is not a short sale, nor a foreclosure or a flipper? It's owned by a regular seller who has equity. There is a fireplace in the living room, a big formal dining room with a vintage light fixture and lots of windows. You'll even find an indoor laundry room, complete with a washer and dryer.
The big back yard features a 2-car garage and a patio with a built-in fireplace / BBQ.
Although the tenants are moving out at the end of October, you can tour this home by appointment on Thursday or Friday of this week, between the hours of 4:30 PM and 7:30 PM. Just call me or your Sacramento buyer's agent for a private showing. My cell is 916.233.6759.
Agents aren't listing very many homes in East Sacramento these days; our inventory is pretty thin. But this is a home that can close by November 30th, so first-time home buyers may qualify to get that home buyer tax credit.
763 53rd Street is offered exclusively by Lyon Real Estate at $329,000.
