Jul. 28, 2007 - Amazing View Home in El Dorado Hills*

El Dorado Hills, CA - As you drive east on Highway 50, and pass Folsom, you leave the Sacramento Valley floor and start into the Sierra Foothills. This is where you find El Dorado Hills, nestled between two ridges that run north and south from Highway 50 towards Folsom Lake with a valley in between. The first ridge you see is called Ridgeview. The two main streets there run the length of the ridge and the homes along them have views of the Sacramento Valley on the southern most end to views of Folsom Lake on the northern end, the lucky ones see both. The views of course all vary. Some homes have views from the front, some from the back, some see just little peaks of the view past another home. This stunning home has beautiful views of both the Sacramento city lights and Folsom Lake that you can enjoy from the places you spend most of your time, the breakfast nook, the family room, the master bedroom, the game room, the pool and spa. It was built in 2004 and superbly crafted and finished with high end materials and appliances. It has approximately 4587 square feet that includes 5 bedrooms, 4 1/2 bathroom, a bonus room, a study, and a wine storage area. Imagine sitting on the upper deck, the sun has just set, the lake's color slowly changes from blue to a golden color, and the lights start to come on across the valley. Having a view similar to this, I can tell you there is nothing like it! This best view, best find home is offered at $1,599,000.
