Luxury Home of the Week - Granite Bay Hills

For review this week is a gorgeous million dollar home in South Placer County. Located at 9975 Granite Point Ct, this estate is somewhat secluded from the higher traffic areas of Granite Bay. This .604 acre lot is set on a quiet court in Granite Bay Hills, a small gated community of 79 homes. This community is located toward the south end of Barton Road near the border of Placer and Sacramento Counties. At a competitive price of $1,399,000, this is one of only two available homes in this gated community. The other is a 4,564 sqft 4 bedroom 4 bathroom on .48 acres, currently listed for $1,150,000. The two recent sales were 3,796 sqft for $849,000 and a 4,816 sqft home for $920,000. Both homes recently sold in August 2011.

This 10 year old home boasts 5 bedrooms and 5 full and 1 half bathrooms tucked nicely into 5,629 sqft. Although it was built in 2001, it still has a very modern feel and style. The rooms are spacious, and the appliances are high end. The chiseled edge travertine adds a nice touch, as do the imperfect smooth walls, and the purposeful placement of lighting throughout the home.

 

The kitchen includes very fine Viking appliances, granite counters, and quality Savage cabinets. The kitchen and family room have excellent views of the peaceful back yard. The lighting is excellent. This kitchen is spacious and flows well. The family room has easy access to the back yard and opens to both the indoor and outdoor kitchen. The finish carpentry and attention to detail really showcase this home.

 

The loggia and patio kitchen lend themselves well to the great entertainment factor this home possesses. Whether entertaining family or friends, this location is ideal, backing up to a green open space with numerous natural elements. The bonus room is also wonderful additional space

 

The master bedroom and bathroom are located downstars, oposite from the kitchen and family room. The bedroom is spacious and provides an extensive walk in closet with very functional built-ins. Fine use of lighting and crown moulding add a nice refined feel. The bathroom is very refined, and allows a fair amount of natural light adding to the ease of relaxation.

 

Home staging was beautifully completed by Premier Home Staging, and overall shows very well. The home and grounds are well maintained. The location is excellent, being located in a court and backing to a green space. This high end home will most likely sell quickly! Anyone looking for an ellegant example of South Placer Luxury should definitely tour this fine estate. To schedule a private showing, or for any other information, contact me!

Luxury Home of the Week - Granite Bay beauty

This week I had the opportunity to preview a gorgeous Tuscan estate located at 8140 Barton Road Granite Bay. This is a custom 4 year old home on 1.25 acres north of Douglas Blvd on Barton. This high end home boasts 4 bedrooms, with the option of a 5th, and 4 full and 1 half bathrooms. Set back off Barton with a private driveway and gated entry, this 6,081 sqft estate is definitely one to watch. At a price of $1,499,900, this is definitely a million dollar home, however after 219 days on the market, this may be a bit inflated for the true value of this regular, or equity sale as they are sometimes called.

Curb appeal is somewhat lacking due to the fact that the home is surrounded by smaller older homes. Although they are clean and well maintained, the home is somewhat out of place. Views from the second story, and the front entry look into the adjacent back yards. In my opinion, this is not a $1.5 million dollar view. The front landscaping really doesn't make my jaw drop. The landscaping in front looks more like something from a $300,000 tract home, and looks like a last minute attempt at better curb appeal. The back yard has not been touched. For those that enjoy a natural open back yard, it will work. Those that really want a yard to match the home, and fullfill the true potential will need at least an extra $150,000 investment.

 

Once you make it past the driveway and the grounds, the home itself really starts to command attention. Custom built in 2007, the home itself is truely well appointed, and shows great attention to detail. The entry could be a little more open, but the layout of the home is functional, and shows excellent craftsmanship. The living area is open and inviting, with excellent views of the back yard and loggia. The kitchen is elegant and furnished appropriately with high end appliances and a butlers pantry. Granite counter tops and the travertine flooring finishes off the living space with a nice high end touch. My personal favorite is the extensive temperature controlled wine cellar.

 

The family room/great room has beautiful open windows showcasing the outdoor entertainment area, and the western exposure of the back yard. The warm feel and proximity to the kitchen and dining room really give a relaxing comfortable feel.

The master bedroom, and a guest bedroom with full bathroom are both located downstairs, with a laundry room. The master bedroom is open and includes an opulent closet with built-ins, and a sitting room or small gym. The master bathroom is almost a retreat by itself!

 

This home additionally showcases a second laundry room, 2 bedrooms, full bathroom, and loft/game room upstairs. Keeping in line with the first floor, the second floor is elegant, and comfortable.

In conclusion, this is a gorgeous, well appointed, and comfortable flowing home. Perfect for a family or anyone that would enjoy entertaining. The location could be better, and for the price, a savy buyer would most likely expect the home to be in a gated community, or a street surrounded by homes/lots of a similar caliber. Still, a small adjustment to the price would make this a wonderful acquisition for anyone looking for a luxury home in South Placer County.
