Amazing Opportunity in The Boulders

This week I toured a Keller Williams listed home for sale in The Boulders located off Auburn-Folsom Road in Granite Bay. The Boulders is a gated high end community of  15 homes on lots from 1.4 to 3 acres. Currently there are only 2 listed homes for sale in the community, and there have been no sales in the last 12 months. 

This luxury home for sale is currently listed for $1,465,000, and is listed as a Short Sale.  It boasts 5 bedrooms, 4 full and 2 half baths, over 6,300 sqft, and a 1.8 acre lot. 


The list of amenities in this home is staggering. The kitchen alone includes 4 dishwashers, Wolfe 6 burner stove, double ovens, and an oversize island all showcased in custom Savage cabinetry. The kitchen opens to the spacious family room and dining room, and also has exquisite views of the rear yard and pool



 The living space is very well appointed, with hardwood floors and luxurious carpeting. The finish carpentry and attention to detail is amazing throughout this 2 story home. The extensive use of coffered ceilings affords a sense of opulence to this lavish home. 

The Master suite is located on the ground floor, and features a sitting room with fireplace and access to the rear yard. The coffered ceiling is an exquisite feature as well. The master bathroom is spacious, and features a soaking tub, his and her vanity, spacious walk in closet, and elegant flooring.



 This estate features a 4+ car garage, although some garage space is being used as home gym. It also boasts a covered outdoor kitchen complete with fireplace, refrigerator, sink, and dishwasher.


The pool is large and features a waterfall and grotto, in addition to a raised spa next to the waterfall. The yard currently shows some neglect, as is often the case with short sales. However, this is still an amazing yard with plenty of space and serenity.

 Overall this home is gorgeous, and will be an excellent acquisition for the discriminate buyer. The home needs a thorough cleaning, some attention to the landscaping, and a little bit of cosmetic repair. Although a beautiful home, it may be slightly overpriced for the current condition.

Move-in Ready Douglas Ranch Home

Douglas Ranch is a non-gated community, yet still managed by an owner's association. Located off Douglas Blvd east of Sierra College in Granite Bay, it is comprised of approximately 98 units built between 2000 and 2007. Currently there is only one active listing in the neighborhood. There have been 8 other sales in the last 12 months ranging from $820,000 to $997,500.

This week's home is located at 8450 Spruce Meadow Lane near Olive Ranch Rd, and Barton Rd. This 2 story home boats numerous amenities, 5 bedrooms (7 possible), 4 full and 1 half bathrooms, and over 5,160 sqft, all set on a beautiful 2/5 acre lot. Built in 2002 and currently listed at $1,099,999, this is currently the only home available in Douglas Ranch. 

The home and grounds are well maintained, and contemporary. The curb appeal is very presentable, and showcases the home well. 


Moving inside, the entry is well placed, allowing access to each section of the home. The front double wood doors are warm and perfectly sized for the home. Fixtures, design, and finish are appropriate and compliment each other. The study or office is located to the left of the entry and is spacious and naturally lit by the large west facing windows. The entire first floor is finished in Travertine tile, including the guest bedroom, and full bathroom.


The living space is open and light, with recessed lighting and hardwood cabinetry. The family room is open to the kitchen and dining area, and has exquisite views of the back yard. The family room also boasts a built in entertainment center, and fireplace with a stone cast designer surround.


Moving through the home, the expansive chef's kitchen is open from the family room and features Travertine floors and custom hardwood cabinetry. The island is well placed and features a built-in warming tray and sink. Prospective clients will also note the high end stainless steel appliances including a 6 burner gas cooktop with grill, dual sinks, dishwasher and compactor, and two ovens. 



Moving to the master bedroom, your attention will be drawn to the extensive space, and the double sided fireplace. The master affords excellent views of the rear yard, and a sense of privacy apart from the remaining bedrooms. The master bathroom is well appointed, sharing the fireplace, and boasting dual shower heads and a jacuzzi tub. The double sinks, built in Dressing Table, and large walk-in closet complete the master suite.



The last stop on our tour is the rear yard. Well maintained, large, and professionally designed, it is a small paradise. The design shows good use of space with room for family play, or entertainment. The yard features two patio areas, pool, and spa with stone wall backdrop. Mature queen palms accent the relaxing yard.



Overall, this home shows very well, has been meticulously maintained, and will be a great value for a new buyer! Other features include a split-unit HVAC system for the upper and lower floors, whole house fan, alarm, and beautiful wine storage/tasting room. The location is quiet, yet close to all the local amenities. This home is priced slightly higher than the recent comparables in the neighborhood, however it is meticulously maintained, and slightly larger than recent sales. At $1,099,999 this is a good value, and a wonderful home for the next proud owner.
