Spring into your dream home in the highly sought-after College-Greens neighborhood! Nestled on a charming street, 8245 Rensselaer offers prime access to parks, schools, and scenic trails along the American River. From its inviting curb appeal complete with a large shade tree and vibrant rose bushes to its thoughtfully designed interior, this home is a true gem. Inside, the smart layout separates the bedrooms from the main living areas, enhancing both privacy and flow. Stylish built-in shelving adds character, while plantation shutters enhance both charm and function. Cozy up by the fireplace with your favorite book and enjoy the warmth of home. The spacious primary bedroom with an en-suite bath has direct access to the backyard. The interior provides a fantastic opportunity to add your own personal touches and creative updates! Evidence of hardwood floors beneath most of the aged carpet - waiting to shine once again! Hot water heater and garage door were replaced within the last two-years. A covered patio and lawn area creates a perfect backyard setting for entertaining or relaxation. Enjoy swimming, tennis, and socializing fun at nearby College Greens Swim & Racquet Club. Commuters will appreciate the convenience of the Watt-Manlove light rail station and quick access to Hwy 50.
