One of the perks agents get who work at Lyon Real Estate is our office assistants input our listings to MLS. These hard-working people make sure we comply with all the new rules and regulations of MLS, so we don't violate anything and get fined. If I need to make changes to the marketing comments, for example, I need only to email my staff and they update the listing.
But I'm one of those meticulous agents who pays attention to detail, which probably drives the staff nuts. If I see a hyphen missing or a typo, I email them to request a change. That's because nobody knows that I don't input that information myself, and I'd hate for a person to think I misspelled a word. They can think other nasty things about me if they like but not that I can't spell. Hey, we all have our quirks.
There is nothing quirky about this gorgeous new listing in Cameron Park. It's a multi-level with upgrades located around the corner on a quiet culdesac in desirable Bar J Ranch.
Stepping into the home you're greeted by an open floor plan and a rich mahogany wood floor in the entry. The living room is vaulted, banked by windows and sits below the raised formal dining room.
One wall in the dining room does not reach the ceiling and part of its ceiling floats around the perimeter, anchored by a white floor-to-ceiling column. There are unique features like this throughout. For example, the breakfast nook is raised above the family room and a wood railing offers insurance against flipping over the edge. However, if you've had one too many cocktails, you might be tempted to leap. There are a lot of ceiling fans plus a whole house fan. The floors in the kitchen and breakfast nook feature oversized ceramic with smaller diamond-shaped tile accents, set on the diagonal.
Step down to the family room, with its mahogany wood floors, brick fireplace and a wet bar, and you'll find sliding doors to the back yard patio. You can also access the back yard raised deck from the breakfast nook on the upper level.
The hallway floor is ceramic with decorative touches in the design, plus there is a laundry room at the end with an updated guest bath and first-floor bedroom in the center.
Upstairs are 3 more bedrooms and 2 more baths. The master is large with vaults, a ceiling fan, 2-tone painted walls, chair rails, arched windows and a big bath. In the master bath you'll find a dual-sink vanity, a jetted soaking tub and a separate shower plus a walk-in closet.
The back yard is incredible and nicely landscaped. There is a stamped concrete walkway with inlaid brick and a couple of small bridges. It features a birch tree, maple tree, roses and beautiful gardens.
