A gracious front porch, distinctive roofline, beautiful windows and established gardens create an unforgettable first impression. Inside, a thoughtful floor plan is designed for both everyday living and memorable entertaining. Hardwood floors, architectural millwork and abundant windows bring warmth and natural light throughout. Formal living and dining spaces transition effortlessly into an oversized family room, where a dramatic stone fireplace and extensive custom glass front cabinetry create an inviting centerpiece for gathering. Beautifully remodeled kitchen elevates the heart of the home with granite surfaces, crisp cabinetry and premium Thermador appliances, including a professional style range, oven and microwave.

Mature trees and established landscaping create a remarkable sense of privacy, framing meandering pathways, intimate garden spaces and multiple destinations for dining, relaxing and entertaining. Gather around the fire, host dinner beneath the trees, enjoy the built in barbecue and sport court, or find a quiet corner surrounded by greenery. Expansive grounds provide room to dream, with exciting possibilities to further enhance the outdoor lifestyle while preserving the beauty already established. Owned solar and a three car garage add everyday convenience. Peaceful and established, yet remarkably connected, Waterford places Folsom Lake, highly regarded schools, parks, shopping, dining and everyday amenities just minutes away. A rare opportunity where character, thoughtful renovation, privacy and possibility come together in the heart of El Dorado Hills.

Waterford, located between Green Valley Road and Salmon Falls Road, is a hillside and lake-adjacent El Dorado Hills neighborhood with curving cul-de-sacs and oak-dotted open space. The neighborhood’s energy concentrates around the Green Valley Road and Francisco Drive corridor, where errands and meetups cluster around local storefronts and patios. Housing leans toward late-20th-century and newer single-family builds with stucco exteriors, tile roofs, and elevated lots that catch foothill light. Trails and pocket parks thread through the slopes, shaping a walk-and-roll routine. Folsom Lake’s coves and launch points set the weekend rhythm, while nearby shopping and dining keep daily life close to home.
