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.

Castle Craigs Court, El Dorado Hills, CA - The lowest price per square foot home in El Dorado Hills is a property that I blogged about last month on Redondo Drive which is still available and still the lowest at $140.66 per square foot.  This single story, bank owned home, however, is the second lowest, priced at $146.75 per square foot or $399,900.  It was built in 1986, has approximately 2725 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a pool.  It has a large open plan and has had some updating done to it.  An issue for this home and possibly the reason for the extremely low price per square foot is that it backs up to El Dorado Hills Blvd. (a four lane road). Our Trendgraphix statistics for April sales show that there was a total of 45 home sales averaging $195 per square foot, of those sales 14 were bank owned and averaged $170 per square foot.  For more information on this home or others like it in our area, please email me.  Sold 7/18/08.
