Property is move-in ready.
While built in 1977, the home is well-maintained and move-in ready due to significant recent capital improvements. Key updates include a 2017 roof, 2020 LVP flooring, dual-pane windows, and 2025/2026 interior paint and ceiling retexturing. Although the kitchen cabinetry is dated, the primary bathroom has been remodeled, and major systems including the water heater, pool pump, and whole-house fan are recently updated or professionally maintained.
Priced under $500,000, this property offers a rare combination of an in-ground pool, built-in BBQ area, and a new shed, providing a complete backyard oasis that is highly competitive for the Sacramento market.
The home is move-in ready with significant upgrades including a 2017 roof, 2020 LVP flooring, fresh 2026 interior paint, and the removal of popcorn ceilings, significantly reducing immediate capital expenditure for a buyer.
The absence of HOA and Mello-Roos fees keeps monthly ownership costs low, while the proximity to Golden Empire Elementary and light rail stations offers excellent convenience for families and commuters.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 4.
Despite many cosmetic and system updates, the 1977 construction may still possess some original plumbing or electrical components typical of its age that could require future attention compared to newer builds.
While the elementary school is conveniently located, the assigned middle and high schools carry average ratings (5 and 6 respectively), which may be a drawback for education-focused buyers.
