Description

Check out this large home on a HUGE lot nestled on a quiet, dead-end street in lovely Carmichael! The home is dated BUT it has had some major updates to the essentials in recent years, including the central heat and air updated in 2024, new dual pane windows installed in 2024, a new roof and driveway in 2018! All you need to do is update the cosmetics! When you walk in the home you'll be greeted by a tile entryway and a separate, secluded family room to the right which might be used as a 5th bedroom if need be. The main living area has a wall of windows to let in all the beautiful natural light! PLUS, there's a huge bonus/game room off the back of the home with a pellet stove, a small remote bedroom AND a large storage closet or pantry! The home has tons of storage. The lovely kitchen features tile countertops with bar seating and a breakfast nook. You'll love the extras such as a drive through garage, tankless water heater and shed. With this big lot there's plenty of room for a good sized ADU or pool. The home would likely make a nice care home too.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from December 11, 2025
