This is the type of neighborhood where squirrels can take afternoon naps in the middle of the street without being disturbed. Where neighbors all know your name and wave as you walk by. Where people are respectful of private property rights. Welcome to Sylvan Park in Citrus Heights.
Many of the homes in this area were built in the '60s and '70s, but the home I am introducing you to today is the desirable 1958 construction from the Leave It to Beaver era.
This delightful ranch home boasts 3 bedrooms, a long galley kitchen open at each end, and a big living room with a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace. It also has an attached garage, which many years ago originally sat apart from the home, separated by an overhang and breezeway.
Because the neighbors' yards have so many trees, the home seems plunked down in the middle of a forest without a single large tree in the yard. You will discover plenty of sunshine in the back yard, beautifully manicured landscaping, a lush green lawn and a sparkling brilliantly blue pool. The pool is gunite construction and it has a diving board. Between the house and garage is a patio, which extends into the back yard, and is a perfect spot for your outdoor dining furniture.

Elizabeth... Looks nice.... I'll show it.
Hi Sally: It goes into MLS sometime today, but if you'd like the sellers' phone number beforehand (Call First, Lockbox), let me know. It'd be fun to be in escrow with ya!

You know it's quiet when squirrels nap in the street. I could have sworn I saw Barbara Billingsley look out the window. What a super bargain.

Elizabeth - The home look great...and so does the price! :)
Elizabeth: That pool is looking pretty good right about now. It's 90 degrees in Northern Virginia...normally a temp reserved for July and August. April's just too early.
Squirrels napping in the street? Not even on my cul de sac! Looks like a great listing. Who would have thought just a few years ago you could get a great house at this price. Bet is sells quickly!
The pool looks very inviting and so does the home. Someone will get a great deal.
It's been a whole day, OK, maybe half a day, and yet not one offer. You can see how spoiled I am with my short sale listings. If I don't get an offer within a week, I've done something wrong. :)
