Property is new construction or fully renovated.
The property underwent a comprehensive down-to-the-studs renovation in 2018, including all-new electrical, plumbing, mechanical systems, and roof. A secondary high-end cosmetic refresh of the kitchen (quartz counters) and flooring (LVT) was completed 6 months ago, placing all major components and finishes well within the <5-10 year window for excellent condition.
This architect-owned home underwent a full 'down-to-the-studs' renovation in 2018 and a 2024 refresh, featuring all-new mechanical systems, roof, windows, and high-end finishes like quartz countertops and luxury LVT flooring.
Ideally situated directly across from a pocket park and within walking distance to the Oak Park business district and UC Davis Medical Center, offering exceptional urban convenience and lifestyle appeal.
The property features a large, private backyard with a new louvered patio cover and mature shade trees, plus a detached garage that provides rare parking, storage, or workshop versatility for the area.
With only 768 square feet of living space, the home's compact footprint may be a constraint for buyers seeking larger rooms or additional storage capacity.
The 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom layout can be a significant drawback for households with multiple occupants and may limit the property's competitive edge against homes with a second bath.
Architect-owned Central Oak Park bungalow, fully updated with two rounds of major improvements. The 2018 renovation took the home down to the studs: new siding, insulation, windows, doors, roof, entirely new electrical, plumbing, and mechanical systems, and stainless steel appliances throughout. Six months ago, the kitchen and living area received a second pass: new quartz countertops, professionally repainted cabinets, designer lighting, and luxury waterproof LVT flooring with premium underlay throughout. The interior and exterior were freshly painted at the same time, a update that realistically carries a 10-year horizon. The washer and dryer are also newer. The bathroom features full tile floor and shower surround. Bedrooms have generous closets. Recessed lighting throughout the living area. The front yard is fully landscaped and fenced with an automatic drip system. A one-year-new sewer lateral with transferable warranty conveys with the sale. The backyard is large and private, with a new louvered patio cover, lawn, and automatic sprinklers. Mature trees line the perimeter, providing deep shade through Sacramento summers and a level of privacy that is increasingly rare at this price point. A detached one-car garage at the rear provides parking, storage, or workshop space. Located directly across from a neighborhood pocket park. Walking distance to McClatchy Park, the weekly farmers market, and the Oak Park business district. Five minutes to UC Davis Medical Center. Ten minutes to Midtown and East Sacramento. Freeway access is immediate.
