Best of the El Dorado Hills

Blog by DeeDee Riley
El Dorado Hills, California

Welcome to my Best of the El Dorado Hills 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.

Loch Way, El Dorado Hills, CA - Wow!!!!  That is all I could think from the moment I walked through the courtyard gate to this beautiful El Dorado Hills home.  It was built in a French Country style in 2006 in the custom neighborhood of Highland Hills, where residents pay no HOA dues or Mello Roos, on just over 1 acre.  There is approximately 5180 square feet in this single story, with 4+ bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms.  With 5180 square feet  to use all of the rooms are generous and the feel is very open throughout the family room, kitchen and nook. The kitchen, pictured above, includes 4 ovens, a 6 burner range, and a sub-zero refrigerator.  The game room has a built-in bar and big glass doors that access a covered patio (shown in third picture above), complete with a fireplace, built-in BBQ, and ceiling fans.  The backyard is fully landscaped and includes a pool and spa, of course!  If that isn't enough for you, there are 6 garages - 3  attached and 3 detached with  built-in cabinets, epoxy floors, weight room/hobby room, and approximately 1600 square feet of an almost finished 2 bedroom, 2 bath apartment above the detached garage.  It is listed for $1,750,000. 

Please email me at driley@golyon.com if I can help you with more information on this home or others like it in El Dorado Hills.

Highland Hills Drive, El Dorado Hills, CAI use to live in the next neighborhood over (Sterlingshire) and drove by this house on a regular basis.  It has always caught my eye as it's curb appeal is so charming.  I wondered what it looked like inside.  On our Lyon office tour yesterday, I finally got a chance to see it, and to my delight, it is just as charming on the inside!  The charm continues out to the back yard where you find the pool and garden areas nestled around some of our majestic native oaks.  Highland Hills homes all have large lots and there are no HOA dues or Mello Roos.  The majority of the homes here were built in the 90's, this one was built in 1990 on .80 acres.  It has 5 bedrooms, 4 baths, and approximately 4420 square feet.  Additionally, the home has a separate 2 bedroom, 1 bath guest suite with it's own mini kitchen, family room, and private entrance from the front of the house.  The downstairs has extensive use of beautiful Brazilian cherry hardwood flooring.  The upstairs master bedroom has a fireplace and private balcony overlooking the back yard where you can also catch glimpses of the local hills beyond.  Listed at $998,500.  Please call or email me for more information.  To read all my best of the hills postings visit MyBestoftheHills.com or click here.
