Tucked into a mature, tree-lined, family-first neighborhood, this beautifully maintained 1980s ranch-style home is being offered for the first time on the MLS. From the moment you arrive, the pride of ownership is unmistakable. Manicured landscaping, lush green grass, a mature maple tree, and blooming roses create an inviting first impression that immediately sets this home apart. Step inside to a freshly painted interior where vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light create a warm, open living space that feels both peaceful and welcoming. The galley kitchen flows seamlessly into a sunlit dining area, an ideal setting to enjoy morning coffee as the day begins. This 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home reflects true pride of ownership, offering not only comfort but confidence with thoughtful updates already in place, including a roof with substantial life remaining, an HVAC system and ducting updated approximately eight years ago, dual-pane windows throughout, and an attic fan for added efficiency. The backyard continues the story of meticulous care, with lush landscaping and a variety of fruit-bearing trees including Mutsu, Granny Smith, and Fuji apple trees, along with a Santa Rosa plum tree. Located at 8209 Cottongin Way in Sacramento's Glen Elder neighborhood, residents enjoy a strong sense of community with nearby parks and walk-to Elk Grove Unified schools. Just minutes from Downtown Sacramento, the home offers convenient access to Highway 99 and Highway 50, along with shopping and entertainment.
