It just doesn't get any better. This is a graceful and stunning 5-bedroom, 3-bath, pool home with a sweeping back-yard view of Del Campo Park in Carmichael. It's like living on your own private mini-estate, surrounded by natural beauty. The lot size is .40 acres, and this 2-story boasts 2,732 sq. ft., according to the Sacramento County Assessor's office.
The wide entry features hardwood parquet floors, open to both the formal living room and formal dining room. You'll find a chandelier in the dining room, plenty of space for a large table and an expansive view through the wood and glass doors of the spectacular back yard.
It offers a perfect layout for entertaining, with an open floor plan that lets guests gather and mingle from the kitchen to the family room to the living room. The floors in the spacious kitchen are manufactured wood laminate but look like real wood. You'll find original custom cabinetry (they don't make them like this anymore), double ovens and a gas range, plus another fabulous view of the magnificent yard, a Dutch door to the side yard, an island and a breakfast area.
The living room has soaring wood vaults, skylights, a wood-burning fireplace, wood windows and is big enough to hold a piano. In fact, there is a piano. This room gives you a feeling of elegance yet all the warmth of a personal space.
Some of the bedrooms and baths have been updated. The master suite on the main floor, has wainscoting, a huge walk-in closet and overlooks the back yard. At the front of the home, you'll find a large second bedroom with laminate flooring, a ceiling fan and access to the guest bath.
The remaining 3 bedrooms are upstairs, along with the third bath, which features a skylight. The back bedroom is almost the size of two bedrooms. It has 6 windows on three sides, a ceiling fan and a built-in under window bench on the west side, all of which offers spectacular treetop views of the grounds and the secluded back-side of Del Campo Park.
By far, the crowning glory is the professionally landscaped back yard. It has mature trees, a water feature, lovingly tended-to flower gardens, a covered patio, an uncovered patio, gas plumbing for a BBQ and newer gunite construction, built-in solar-heated pool. It's a paradise -- perfect for gardening, pool parties and outdoor picnics.
An added bonus is the roomy 2 1/2 car garage and possible RV access.
You'll love the price, too. This home is offered at $399,000. It's not a short sale nor an REO; it's just priced like one! If you're looking to capture the first-time home buyer tax credit, you could easily make an offer this first weekend of spring and be living in your dream home by April 30th. Ah, spring in Sacramento. Isn't this your favorite time of year?
