Tucked into the peaceful foothill setting of Meadow Vista, this property offers a rare combination of flexible living space, privacy, and income potential. Situated on Golden Oak Lane, the home captures the quiet, rural feel the area is known for while still being within convenient reach of Auburn and I-80. The main level features a highly functional layout designed for everyday living, with comfortable living spaces, natural light, and a flow that works well for both full-time residence or a second-home retreat. The setting and layout create a strong foundation for a buyer to move in and enjoy immediately, while also leaving room to personalize over time. A standout feature of the property is the lower level, which has previously been utilized as a separate rental with its own private entry. This space creates a unique opportunity for supplemental income, multigenerational living, or extended guest accommodations. Alternatively, a buyer could choose to integrate the lower level into the main home, expanding the living area into a larger family room, recreation space, or custom retreat. The property offers a blend of livability today with clear upside for a buyer looking to add value through updates or reconfiguration. Whether the goal is to offset a mortgage with rental income, create additional usable space, or simply enjoy the flexibility of a versatile floor plan, this home presents multiple paths to make it your own. Located in one of Meadow Vista's most desirable areas, known for larger parcels, privacy, and a strong sense of community, this is an opportunity to step into the foothill lifestyle while capitalizing on future potential.
