JUST REDUCED! Ask about potential incentives. Step into your own private resort on 1.8 secluded acres, where a stunning hillside heated pool with cascading waterfall, faux boulders, and color-changing lighting anchors a backyard built for entertaining. Gather around the outdoor kitchen with built-in BBQ, freestanding BBQ with bar seating, wood-fired pizza oven, and gas fire pit, or unwind in the jacuzzi off the downstairs suite. This 4-bedroom, 3-bath, 2,572 sq. ft. home is surrounded by towering pines, majestic oaks, and redwoods, with breathtaking mountain and forest views from nearly every room, and just three nearby neighbors for true privacy. Smart, resilient living comes standard here: solar, a 25 kW automatic whole-house standby generator, and a newer roof with transferable warranty give you real peace of mind, and the home is insurance-eligible outside the California FAIR Plan, a significant advantage for foothill living. The upper level offers an updated kitchen with quartz countertops, a dining bar, and an open-concept family room that flows to a large deck overlooking the pool and grounds. Solar tubes bring in natural light throughout, complemented by wood floors, three bedrooms, refreshed bathrooms, and an indoor laundry room with abundant cabinetry. Downstairs is a true private retreat, ideal for multigenerational living, extended family, guests, or rental potential. It offers its own entrance, bedroom, living room, sitting area, library, two walk-in closets, a full bath with sunken soaking tub, and a private deck with jacuzzi, a complete second living space rather than just another bedroom. Additional highlights include LeafGuard gutters, tankless water heater, whole house fan, an oversized 2-car garage, 1,000-gallon underground propane tank, Govee exterior lighting, extra-large basement storage, ample parking, fruit trees, and a chicken coop. Just 5 minutes to I-80, 9 minutes to shopping and dining, and about an hour to both Sacramento and Lake Tahoe, this is country tranquility with every modern comfort close at hand.
