Sacramentans' perception of Galt -- especially those who have never been to the city -- is that it's a long way from downtown, but it's really not any further to drive than to some parts of Elk Grove. Lots of law enforcement officials live in Galt, too. It's only 32 minutes from downtown Sacramento.
So, if you're yearning for wide-open spaces coupled with the lifestyle that a vibrant small-town community offers, Galt might be the place for you to live.
Here is a new short sale listing in Galt. It's located just minutes from Twin Cities Road off Highway 99.
This 2004-built pool home has 5 bedrooms, 3 baths, and is the largest model at 2,500 square feet. This contemporary style with high ceilings and more than $70,000 of upgrades is for sale at $277,200. Some of the upgrades include maple cabinetry, wood floors, granite counters, plantation shutters, and the family room with fireplace is wired for 7 speakers.
The back yard faces a greenbelt to the south. It has landscaping on the east and west, a concrete patio and a sparkling gunite construction pool. It also features a three-car garage and a side yard with a concrete pad for RV access.
The sellers are hoping for a June 1 closing date. If you're yearning for a pool home in Galt at an attractive price, call your Sacramento short sale agent, Elizabeth Weintraub, at 916.233.6759. Lyon Real Estate.
