Situated on just under a third of an acre along a quiet, no-sidewalk street in the established Montview neighborhood of Fair Oaks, this 4 bedroom, 2 bath single-story home offers 1,610 sq ft of living space and a great opportunity for its next chapter. The home is not quite move-in ready and will require updating throughout, but it provides a strong foundation for the next owner to modernize the space and make it their own. Step inside to a home surrounded by mature trees yet filled with natural light. The living room overlooks the expansive backyard and connects to the dining area and kitchen, forming a central hub well suited for everyday living, entertaining, and relaxing. Just beyond the dining area is the spacious sunken family room featuring mid-century inspired touches including vaulted ceilings and a standalone corner fireplace, creating a warm and inviting secondary living space. Across the home and down the hallway, you'll find four bedrooms, including the primary suite, providing a traditional layout that separates the living areas from the private spaces of the home. Hardwood flooring underneath the carpet offers the option to restore a classic element of the home's original character. Outside, the large backyard is open and expansive, framed by mature trees and offering ample space to reimagine landscaping, outdoor living areas, or future improvements. A newly redone driveway and attached two-car garage add convenience and functionality. This home reflects its age and will benefit from significant improvements both inside and out, presenting an opportunity for buyers looking to update a home over time while establishing long-term equity in a desirable Fair Oaks neighborhood. Well positioned near parks, shopping, dining, and access to the American River Parkway, this property offers the chance to create a home tailored to your vision in one of Fair Oaks' established communities.
