Property Description
More than a renovation, this is a home rebuilt with intention- offering a rare combination of scale, craftsmanship, and lifestyle in the heart of Wilhaggin. Set on a generous .36-acre lot, this exceptional residence offers 3,803 sqft of thoughtfully designed living space and a rare oversized 4-car garage. Every visible finish is matched by equally significant improvements behind the walls, creating a home that's as functional as it is beautiful. Natural light fills the home through new dual-pane windows, highlighting wide-plank flooring and a reimagined floor plan featuring an additional en-suite bedroom, elegant powder room, and an expansive walk-in closet within the luxurious primary retreat. The spa-inspired primary bath features a freestanding soaking tub, oversized walk-in shower, and refined finishes. Every bathroom has been completely remodeled. At the center of the home is the main event: a chef's kitchen with premium appliances, abundant cabinetry, generous prep space, and seamless flow to the dining and living areas, perfect for entertaining or everyday living. Step outside to your own private garden retreat where mature fruit trees, raised garden beds, herb gardens, and a custom chicken coop create a true farm-to-table lifestyle. Harvest citrus, figs, peaches, apples, pomegranates, berries, herbs, vegetables, and fresh eggs all from your own backyard. Designed for comfort and peace of mind, the home has been extensively upgraded with dual HVAC systems relocated to the attic, updated electrical, new insulation, a unified plumbing system, an energy-efficient 80-gallon heat pump water heater, EV charger, and completed dry rot and termite remediation. The outdoor living spaces have been equally transformed with professionally designed landscaping, a new patio, winding garden paths, architectural lighting, and updated sprinkler and drip irrigation. Just moments from the American River Parkway, enjoy access to over 30 miles of scenic paved trails stretching from Old Sacramento to Folsom Lake. Ideal for cycling, running, walking, and year round outdoor recreation. Combined with close proximity to top-rated public and private schools, shopping, dining, downtown Sacramento, the State Capitol, and major medical centers- this location offers the perfect balance for multigenerational living, hobbyists, and those seeking an active NorCal lifestyle.
