Damico Drive, El Dorado Hills, CA - My search for the lowest price per square foot today showed 10 homes for sale under $140 per square foot but the lowest was this two story home at only $119.26.   It was built in 2005 by Standard Pacific Homes on just over .25 acres with approximately 4091 square feet, 5 bedrooms - 1 down and the master and additional 3 upstairs, 4 bathrooms, and an upstairs bonus or loft. From the picture above it appears to have a 2 car garage but there is an additional tandem one for 3 total.   It is situated inside gates in one of the Serrano villages and has a huge flat yard, which guessing from this price needs landscaping.  Regardless, it is not a short sale or bank owned so an incredible price for El Dorado Hills!  It is listed at $487,900.  

To give you perspective on this price, I pulled statistics from our Lyon Real Estate Trengraphix for the month of June.  There were 51 total sales in El Dorado Hills for the month selling at an average square foot price of $158.  Of those 51, 17 were bank owned selling at an average square foot price of $142 and 34 were non-bank owned selling at an average square foot price of $166.

Greenview Drive, El Dorado Hills, CA - The amazing custom homes inside the Serrano Country Club gates never cease to wow me.  This fabulous home was built in 2003 on lot almost 3/4 of an acre in size and backing to a greenbelt.  It is superbly crafted in what I'd call a modern style with approximately 4324 square feet, 5 bedrooms, and 4.5 bathrooms.  Giving way to that modern feel were the walls of windows off the back of the home where the kitchen and family room look out to the vanishing edge pool and the greenbelt behind it that you see in the third picture.  The kitchen  is truly gourmet with top of the line appliances, granite counters, European cabinetry, and a large walk-in pantry.  The master suite has it's own balcony and access to the back yard which is equipped with every amenity you could imagine in addition to the pool - spa, water slide, fire-pit, outdoor kitchen with built in BBQ, and a fireplace.  The home also has a separate guest house with a full bath and a kitchen that also has access to the back yard.  Something I have not seen before but definitely impressed me was a Jack-N-Jill closet for the junior bedrooms.  It is listed at $1,299,000.

Loch Way, El Dorado Hills, CA -  What an opportunity! This is one of those times when the pictures don't do justice to the home.  It was built in 1992 on just over two acres, in the beautiful upscale custom neighborhood of Sterlingshire, which is situated on the northern end of El Dorado Hills.  The home has approximately 5312 square feet, with 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, a den/office, an upstairs laundry, a remote game/bonus downstairs, a pool/spa, and a yard that with the right owner could be amazing.  It has wallpaper (popular in the time in the time it was built) and and redwood decking (Trex was not around then) that will need to be addressed along with the normal home inspection findings but  this home  has so much potential.  Both the circular driveway in front and the driveway going up to the garages and RV parking has insets of brick to match the use of brick on the front of the home.   This  bank owned  property is listed for $999,000 $939,000.

Titleist Way, El Dorado Hills, CA - It's been quiet on the home touring front with the holidays but with the new year were many new listings to see this week.  I saw several great homes today, but this one wowed me the most.  This Serrano home was built by Parker as a semi-custom in 2000. However, it is far from that now as the sellers have totally customized it through it's extensive remodel that included the addition of walls, columns, arches, and wood beams.  The home is nestled between the quaint street and the 8th green of the Serrano Golf Course.  You can see the beautiful golf course views and the local views from the nook, family room, ground floor master bedroom, and the cozy bonus upstairs.  It has just over 3000 square, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and other added features such as a refrigerated wine room, three fireplaces (bonus, master bedroom, office),  and a built in BBQ.  It is listed at $1,035,000.

Bantry Place, El Dorado Hills, CA -   The pictures do not do this beautiful home justice.  It was built in 2000, inside the gates of the Serrano Golf Course Country Club by Parker Development  who also designed and developed the master planned community of Serrano itself.  This is on a street of semi-custom homes surrounded by amazing custom homes.  The home has approximately 3827 square feet with 3 bedrooms, 4 baths, an office, and a down stairs bonus room where you have access to the covered veranda and pool/spa combo.  As you enter the home, you can go upstairs to the main level where you find the kitchen with walnut cabinetry ,granite counters, and double dishwashers, the library/den,  the master suite is spacious and elegant with a fireplace, marble flooring in the bath, and its own balcony; or you can go downstairs where you find the bonus room with a wet-bar/kitchen and fireplace, and a bedroom suite with it's own bathroom and fireplace.  From the main level, outside the nook and living room, there is a balcony where you have splendid views of  the golf course and the our local foothills. Parker planned this model out well to include a dumb waiter where you enter from the 3-car garage so you can get your groceries etc. to the main floor without having to carry them up the stairs.  The lots here are small and were designed with low maintenance in mind.  This reminds me of a luxury home you might find in Tahoe but here you can enjoy the golf course, our great restaurants, and soon our Red Hawk Casino just 15 minutes up the freeway.  It is listed at $999,900. For more information on our area please feel free to email me at driley@golyon.com.
