The file folder for my new listing in East Sacramento is decorated with artwork. I had left it on the coffee table while I walked through this darling 2-bedroom bungalow to do my agent visual inspection. One of the tenant's children used this opportunity to draw on my folder. The tenant was very apologetic, but actually, I think it adds a lot of appeal and character to an otherwise drab file folder.
This very pretty home was built in 1940 and oozes much of the original charm of that period -- scalloped trim work, hardwood floors, contrasting tiled kitchen counters and arched doorways.
Did I mention it is not a short sale, nor a foreclosure or a flipper? It's owned by a regular seller who has equity. There is a fireplace in the living room, a big formal dining room with a vintage light fixture and lots of windows. You'll even find an indoor laundry room, complete with a washer and dryer.
The big back yard features a 2-car garage and a patio with a built-in fireplace / BBQ.
Although the tenants are moving out at the end of October, you can tour this home by appointment on Thursday or Friday of this week, between the hours of 4:30 PM and 7:30 PM. Just call me or your Sacramento buyer's agent for a private showing. My cell is 916.233.6759.
Agents aren't listing very many homes in East Sacramento these days; our inventory is pretty thin. But this is a home that can close by November 30th, so first-time home buyers may qualify to get that home buyer tax credit.
763 53rd Street is offered exclusively by Lyon Real Estate at $329,000.

Hi Elizabeth, Looks like a really nice home. It is a great time to buy, so I hope you get it sold soon!
How wonderful to have a listing that is not a Short Sale, Foreclosure, REO or a flipper. I would think you would have lots of showings.

Elizabeth: Bet this one could settle in time for a frantic first time home buyer that is trying to take advantage of that tax credit. You'll sell it in no time.
Isn't it great to get a non short sale listing every now and then? I listed one 3 weeks ago that the seller had owned for 19 years and it mortgage free. We placed it under contract in 3 days!! AND.....she's making a profit.
What?! Hello, hello? It's not a foreclosure, short sale, or flipper?
Makes for a nice change, huh, Elizabeth! Good luck with your new listing.
Cheers,
Robin
I love that back yard. In fact, I think I know what my next project is going to be now.
What a nice, stress-free listing. I have a hard time understanding outside fireplaces, however, unless a person is really into outdoor living even when it is cold, cold, cold.
Elizabeth, this looks like a charming home, and for those out there looking, they could still get in with the tax credit since it isn't a short sale!
I don't know if I would call this a stress-free listing since nobody can see it until the 22nd. And it's a desirable area in East Sacramento. I showed homes in East Sac over the weekend and wish this home had been available.
Elizabeth,
What a rare experience! I'm sure it will sell quickly. It's adorable and full of charm.
Your friend in the Cosmic Cow Pie.
