Last Friday, I put first-time home buyers for Del Paso Manor into escrow. I had been showing them homes in this area for several weeks because Del Paso Manor was their targeted neighborhood. Del Paso Manor has the features they wanted: a neighborhood where homeowners know each other and are friendly, plus it's close to a park, schools, the Del Paso Country Club and the Country Club Shopping Center. Not to mention, Del Paso Manor is easily accessible from Highway 50 by going up Watt or Business 80 by driving down El Camino.
Yesterday, I took a new short sale listing in Del Paso Manor. This is a delightfully updated home built in 1950. It has mostly hardwood floors with a light-colored pretty laminate in the kitchen and bath. Each of the bedrooms is big. The seller selected the bedroom with the huge walk-in closet as the master suite, but I probably would have chosen the bedroom with access to and which overlooks the gigantic .253 acre back yard. The yard has many trees, among them a camellia, an orange tree and a crepe myrtle.
The home has newer central heat and air, a whole house fan and a tankless water heater, which means you will never run out of hot water, and a tankless water heater helps to save on your utility bills. You'll also find a wood-burning fireplace in the living room, plus a mission-style stained glass front door. Each of the rooms except the bath has a solar skylight tube in the ceiling, which let in plenty of light. Laundry is located in the attached one-car garage.
If you need RV access, you've got it. The lot is very long, so there's room for several boats as well. The back yard is perfect for dogs, and the seller has installed front and rear sprinklers for ease of watering.
2408 Roslyn Way, Sacramento, CA 95864 is offered exclusively by Lyon Real Estate as a short sale at $195,000.
