This lovely Glenbrook home in East College Greens is coming on the market today, so run, don't walk, to view this gorgeous home. It has vaulted ceilings in the dining room and a step-up family room, with an open floor plan. The entry is open to the dining room, kitchen and family room, which means the home has a sought-after layout.
It features 3 bedrooms, one of which is located off the entry, making that bedroom suitable for a home office. The master bedroom overlooks the sparkling gunite in-ground pool and built-in spa, plus water feature, with outside access to the patio. Access to the pool area is also available from the family room. The family room has windows on all four sides, which is accomplished by raising the roof over the family room above the roof line of the rest of the home.
There is a guest bath with tiled floor and tiled tub surround, featuring a shower over the tub, off the main hallway. The master bath is also tiled, very spacious with a walk-in tiled shower and extra linen cabinets.
The kitchen has tiled counters, built-in appliances and a breakfast bar that extends into the family room. The dining room is located on the opposite end of the kitchen.
This home is a short sale and priced in line with the pending sales. For more information, call Elizabeth Weintraub, your Sacramento short sale agent.

Elizabeth - Rarely do I comment on listings but I had to on this one. Do all California homes come with pools? Is there some law out there about this. This house would fly off the market here. Hoping it does out there
Yes, Claude, it is against the law to build a new home in California without a pool. Years ago, people used to build homes without pools, but the public got tired of such nonsense and refused to buy those homes. Under Proposition 31, passed in 2005, all new homes must now have a pool.

Beautiful home; the time is getting closer where you may be my broker.
Tom
Well this makes sense. Why have a home without a pool. Government for the people. I love it.
Are pool cleaning companies unionized out there? There has to be a catch.
Elizabeth - You may need to correct the proposition number that made it mandatory for homes built in California after 2003 to have pools. I think it was actually proposition #32, and it came into effect, in 2005. I suspect it may have contributed to the global mortgage meltdown. I promise if you correct your comment about it, I won't make a big deal over it. . .LOL
And yet, Myrl, I submit this into evidence as item 1.535 as to why the rest of the country believes that we Californians are loopy.
Elizabeth - We all know that California doesn't have a monopoly on intelligence:-) We still haven't found an economist bright enough to compute the cost that homeowners are undergoing to retrofit their existing homes with pools to bring them up to code prior to selling to comply with item 1.525-B. . .Tick tock, tick tock:-)
