Tucked at the end of a dead-end lane, this custom-built single-story home was designed with intention from the ground up. Completed in 2007 and offering 2,662 square feet on a 0.30 acre lot, it opens through a covered stone tile courtyard that carries past the solid wood front door and into the entry. Vaulted ceilings and crown molding run throughout, giving the main living areas a sense of space and light. The kitchen was built for cooking and gathering, with custom cabinetry, granite counters, a generous island with breakfast bar and prep sink, gas range, and a walk-in pantry with full floor to ceiling shelving. The living room centers on a fireplace with tile surround framed by two windows, while a separate family room beneath an arched ceiling offers a second place to spread out. The primary suite is a retreat of its own, with private exterior access, a walk-in closet with built-in drawers, and a bath featuring a full tile shower with dual shower heads, a separate soaking tub, and dual vanities. Outside, a full width deck steps down to a level, fully fenced lawn shaded by mature trees. The oversized garage is a standout, running deep enough to hold a full workshop area with built-in cabinetry, extensive workbench space, dedicated lighting, and a utility sink. Extended parking, a storage shed, and floored attic storage add still more room. All less than a mile from Effie Yeaw Nature Center and American River Parkway access.
