Almost every first-time home buyer I meet wants to live in Land Park. And why wouldn't they? The neighborhood is close to downtown Sacramento, close enough to walk. We've got tree-canopied streets, friendly neighbors, great restaurants, the Tower movie theater, Vic's Ice Cream, Target and specialty stores, not to mention Land Park Zoo and William Land Park. I love living here and selling homes in Land Park.
The problem that some first-time home buyers face is finding an affordable home. Many homes in Land Park are worth half a million or more. If you'd like to live in Land Park but don't want to pay more than $300,000 for a home with a garage, you should check this out.
Here is a super cute starter home in Land Park that is perfect for that first time home buyer. It is located in a wonderful neighborhood tucked away in a pocket south of Vallejo Way and surrounded by trees. You get a feeling when you walk inside that makes you immediately feel at home. It has a great layout, too. But when you spy the gorgeous back yard, be prepared because your heart might explode. Those are the reasons the present owner purchased this home. They are the reasons you'll buy it, too.
You'll find 1948 refinished hardwood floors throughout except for the kitchen and bath, which are tiled, and 2 generous-sized bedrooms. The dining room has a ceiling fan and shares space with the living room. You can see the wood-burning fireplace from the dining room table. In the kitchen is a delightful surprise -- a vintage Wedgewood gas stove.
The bath has been remodeled. It has a jetted tub. The floor and bath surround are slate, giving the space a spa-like feeling. Additional features are built-in cabinetry, a newer light fixture and the seller replaced the old vanity with a custom design that curves nicely into the room.
The back yard sports a trex-like deck, which means the chances of dry rot are pretty darn slim, and is beautifully landscaped. Up against the fence are really old pear cacti. Plus, you'll find an abundance of grapes, and fruit trees such as grapefruit, fig, persimmon and oranges. There are even artichokes growing in the yard! I love it when artichokes give me a viable reason to spoon butter into my mouth.
