Welcome to this charming and lovingly remodeled 3 bed/2 bath cottage-style home in the heart of Carmichael Colony. You'll feel right at home the moment you enter. The family and living rooms have large windows with wonderful views of the front gardens, fountain, and wildlife that visits from time to time. The family room has an electric fireplace insert, and black-out shades make for great movie-watching. The kitchen is well-designed with plenty of deep drawers for easy access to cooking utensils and accessories, and a pantry with slide shelving. The separate office has a built-in oak desktop with file cabinet. A spacious master suite has direct access to a tranquil outdoor living space that includes a Trex deck, bubbling fountain, and pergola. The brick courtyard has plenty of space for dining under the Mulberry tree and seating area for relaxed conversation. Walking along the gravel path throughout the garden you'll find peaceful areas to relax. The rear garden is very private and even has a place for your hammock! Keep extra items in the storage room off the garage or in the separate storage shed. This area is popular with cyclists and dog-walkers alike. Walking distance to Ancil Hoffman Park, golf course, and the American River make this a very special and unique location.
