2605 Perkins Road, West Sacramento


Now, here's something that's tempting for those who want a little country close to the city. This West Sacramento home sits on 1.5 acres within a few minutes drive of downtown Sacramento. It is listed a $539,900 and has been on the market for 51 days. This custom home is 1,740 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. It was built in 2003 and has an in-ground pool to cool your toes during the hot Sacramento Valley summers.
This property is off a unpaved road (Perkins Road), and close to new shopping, and a new high school currently under construction. The property faces a large undeveloped parcel owned by the Washington Unified School District whose future use, aside from a drainage detention pond, is unknown. While there is a lot of new homes in West Sac, most are on normal sized city lots which don't allow much room to stretch out if so inclined. Most homes in the immediate vicinity are older and sit on 1-2 acre or larger lots, and the area can be a mixed bag. For the price, it stacks up pretty well against the other properties in the area. It offers the largest parcel and newest home in this price range in West Sacramento. Not that there isn't room for negotiation.
This home shows promise. A buyer could have an almost-new home with plenty of room to grow. Is it a steal at $539K? No, but if your willing to spend that kind of money on a newer home, minds well get some acreage with it.
