A resort-style, Sacramento-area home with just one owner since it was built in 2001 recently sold for $5.25 million — a price point that may become more common at the upper end of the region’s housing market.
From street’s edge to the farthest reaches of its backyard, the legacy residence in the tony community of Granite Bay captivates the eye. Perched on a hill and surrounded by trees, the Cape Cod-style house spans 8,000 square feet with five bedrooms.
The main level encompasses a kitchen, family room and primary suite. The upper level holds a bonus room, loft and three more bedrooms while the lower level comprises a large recreation room, home movie theater, a wine cellar and guest suite.
The 2.3-acre property, in a private gated community, is further highlighted by a pool with a waterfall, manicured landscaping, a “casita” and an expansive boat garage. There’s access to nearby Granite Bay Golf Club, as well.
Legacy property
“The sellers designed both the home and the grounds, utilizing every square inch, to make it an ideal family compound,” said listing agent Kendra Bishop of the Bishop Real Estate Group RE/Max Gold , who represented the sellers. “It is so meticulously maintained you could walk through and not find one nick, or anything. They raised their family there … and decided it was time to allow another family to do the same with their legacy.”
