1881 Christian Valley Rd
Auburn, CA
This private country oasis is less than 5 minutes to highway 80 and approx. 10 minutes from conveniences and Sutter hospital. Everything about this home, large garage/ workshop, 30x45' metal building, she shed, landscaping and location (access to miles of trails) is IMPRESSIVE.
When you drive up your PRIVATE paved driveway, the circular drive welcomes you to this beautiful quaint home with a huge covered porch, flagstone patios, an expansive flat lawn and mature landscaping. You may opt to pull into the large 4 car tandem garage with a workshop and stair access to an upstairs balcony or into the carport.
Walking into the stained-glass front door what strikes the eye is the wood clad windows and French doors against the freshly painted walls, the vaulted ceilings and Edison lights throughout. To the left of the entry are double doors to the living room/den with a raised ceiling, built in cabinets and shelves and French doors to the front porch. To the right of the entry is the expansive dining room with vaulted ceilings and also French doors to the front porch. Straight ahead is a large closet and the great room with an exposed beam and impressive stone hearth and pot belly stove. Sunshine pours in through all the windows and kitchen skylights.
The kitchen has been recently remodeled with quartz counters and backsplash, lighting and stainless-steel appliances. The contrast between the hardwood floors, cabinets and white textured print on the walls makes the kitchen feel cozy yet it is large enough for multiple cooks at one time. There is a large walk in pantry and off the kitchen is the deck, perfectly appointed for outdoor dining and BBQing. There is also a bonus room - completely finished in knotty pine and wall to wall windows with views over the property and Winchester Ridge.
There are two ½ baths on either side of the kitchen, one with a new pedestal sink for guests and one off of the mud room for easy access when working outside, with charming shiplap walls. Down the hallway are two bedrooms (one with a walk-in closet), a full bath with a wall of cabinets, and an office with soaring ceilings, 2 skylights and outside access. The spacious master suite features vaulted ceilings, a large walk in closet and outside access to a large patio which would be perfect for a hot tub. The master bath has a vanity with two new sinks and quartz counters, a newly refinished claw foot soaking tub and a walk-in shower with dual shower heads and new glass shower doors.
Step outside and listen to the birds chirping, the squirrels chattering and the wind rustling through the trees. The large flat lawn is perfect for a game of soccer or to put in a pool (there is also plenty of space on the back side of the home as well). The she shed has electrical and is a quiet retreat or could be used for storage – not that you would need any since you have the large garage/workshop with a second story by the home and the 30'x45' metal building with a cement pad at the bottom of the property. Oh, and you have your own quiet walking trail right along the back side of the property which leads down to the Bowman canal, the Halsey Forebay and miles of hiking trails.
