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.

Amazing View Home in El Dorado Hills*

Jul. 28, 2007
Categorized in: Best Views

El Dorado Hills, CA - As you drive east on Highway 50, and pass Folsom, you leave the Sacramento Valley floor and start into the Sierra Foothills. This is where you find El Dorado Hills, nestled between two ridges that run north and south from Highway 50 towards Folsom Lake with a valley in between. The first ridge you see is called Ridgeview. The two main streets there run the length of the ridge and the homes along them have views of the Sacramento Valley on the southern most end to views of Folsom Lake on the northern end, the lucky ones see both. The views of course all vary. Some homes have views from the front, some from the back, some see just little peaks of the view past another home. This stunning home has beautiful views of both the Sacramento city lights and Folsom Lake that you can enjoy from the places you spend most of your time, the breakfast nook, the family room, the master bedroom, the game room, the pool and spa. It was built in 2004 and superbly crafted and finished with high end materials and appliances. It has approximately 4587 square feet that includes 5 bedrooms, 4 1/2 bathroom, a bonus room, a study, and a wine storage area. Imagine sitting on the upper deck, the sun has just set, the lake's color slowly changes from blue to a golden color, and the lights start to come on across the valley. Having a view similar to this, I can tell you there is nothing like it! This best view, best find home is offered at $1,599,000. For more information or photos on this home or others like it, please call or email me. (This home sold February 06, 2008.)
