Apr. 24, 2009 - Darling Single Story Serrano Home

Dalewood Drive, El Dorado Hills, CA -  I know most of the times, the homes that really impress me are the million dollar homes but this one is a great semi-custom home in a price range that is really moving in today's market.  Situated behind the gates of one of my favorite Serrano villages on just under a quarter of an acre, it was built in 1998, has 3 bedrooms plus a den, 2.5 bathrooms, and just over 2400 square feet.  As you can see by the pictures, it has great curb appeal and is equally appealing inside with many upgraded features including real hardwood floors, plantation shutters, granite counters, and crown molding.  The back yard features a beautiful pool and built in spa.  This darling single story is listed at $499,000.
