Best of the Hills

Blog by DeeDee Riley
El Dorado Hills, California
Welcome to my weblog! The Hills I refer to here are the foothills east of the Sacramento Valley. My inspiration for this blog came as a result of my Real Estate profession where touring homes and knowing the inventory are some of the best parts of my job. Though my predominant intention here is to tell you about the homes for sale that have wow’d me, I also want to include what I consider to be among “other bests” of living in this wonderful area. You can search by categories, by clicking on the links below, or click on a tag word under one of my postings for more blogs about that subject. The prices shown on each blog is as of the date written. I'll try and update them when time allows. Please keep in mind that sometimes the pictures don't do a home justice, but they are what the listing agent has submitted to the MLS and what I have to work with. For more pictures or information on any of these postings or for help in locating similar homes available in our area, please contact me by clicking on the “Email Me” link below. Be sure and check out My Favorite Links for more helpful sites. Blog postings with * following the name indicate that the home has been sold and is no longer available.

Italian Rural Estate in Sun Ridge Meadows
Mar. 10, 2008
Categorized in: Best Finds
Tagged with: acreage, best finds, best values, best views, custom, gated community, homes over 1 million dollars, horse property, sun ridge meadows
     
Swift Road, Shingle Springs, CA - There were 34 homes on the MLS tour for our area this week located throughout El Dorado Hills, Rescue, and Shingle Springs.  I picked 10 homes to see and though I covered a lot of miles, they were well worth it.  I saw several amazing homes that beautiful spring day starting with a Folsom Lake view home in the gated Summit Neighborhood; and ending with 4  stunning homes in the rural gated community of Sun Ridge Meadows, where property boundaries are marked by white split rail fences.  The most amazing home of all was an Italian rural estate of 35+ acres, one of the largest parcels in Sun Ridge Meadows, and is exquisite in every way.  The home itself is perched high on a knoll overlooking the Sacramento Valley.  I could only imagine the magnificent sunsets the owners must enjoy.   Built in 2004, there is approximately 5884 feet in the main house that includes 3+ bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms.  The first thing that caught my eye when I walked in was the quartz stone and distressed hickory floors, that I later found out have radiant heating beneath them. Then I looked past some fellow Realtors gathered in the great room to the outside where I could see the infinity edge pool and the incredible views beyond it.  The kitchen was grand yet still casual with the stonework used around the stove and, though you can't see it in the picture above, the semicircular island/ eating bar.   The grandeur continued in the master suite where the closet had a back door that exited next to the laundry room.  In the master bathroom was a beautiful stone fireplace with its own hearth.  The estate also includes a custom guest house, it's own pond, and horse amenities that include a covered arena and two barns.  This one of a kind, best find is listed at $3,800,000 and is quite a deal for what you'll be getting.  For more information or pictures on this or any of the homes in Sun Ridge Meadows, please email me.

Former Street of Dreams Home in El Dorado Hills*
Oct. 7, 2007
Categorized in: Best Values
Tagged with: bank owned, best values, custom, el dorado hills, former model, gated community, homes under one million dollars, summit
 
El Dorado Hills, CA - This contemporary home was part of the 1988 Street of Dreams in the Summit neighborhood. It sat in all its grandeur on a 3/4 acre wooded lot with 4060 square feet. Its dramatic interior and designer touches are evident but it is in dire need to TLC to restore it to its original beauty. Now a bank owned property offered at $785,000, it is an incredible value and opportunity. The picture on the right of the pool are from a much earlier day. Please call or email me for more information on this home. It's too late for this one as it just sold as of November 29th. If I can keep an eye out for you, though on others that come up like this, please contact me.
