Property is move-in ready.
While originally built in 1955, the property has been well-maintained and features recent cosmetic renovations including new LVP flooring, fresh paint, and stainless steel appliances. The kitchen and bathrooms retain some dated elements like tile countertops and older cabinetry styles, but they are clean, functional, and move-in ready, placing the home in the 'Good' category for its age and renovation level.
Situated in the highly desirable Woodlake neighborhood, the property offers a strong sense of community, mature landscaping, and convenient proximity to Downtown Sacramento and major commuter routes.
The home features timeless mid-century details including exposed ceiling beams, two brick fireplaces, and large windows that provide abundant natural light and a seamless indoor-outdoor connection.
The interior is move-in ready with contemporary LVP flooring, crisp white cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances, offering a fresh aesthetic within a classic floor plan.
The assigned local schools, including Woodlake Elementary and Martin Luther King Jr. Technology Academy, have low performance ratings, which may be a concern for education-focused buyers.
As a 1955 build, the property may require more intensive maintenance or future upgrades to original plumbing, electrical, or structural systems compared to newer residences.
