Some homes simply have a feeling and this one has it in abundance. Tucked at the quiet edge of Thornton with no neighboring homes to interrupt the serenity, this ranch-style retreat sits on over half an acre of lush, tree-lined land with breathtaking vineyard views. A true escape from the noise of modern life. Step inside and feel the difference thoughtful updates make. Premium Pergo hardwood floors installed in 2023 with underlayment laid over the original hardwood beneath anchor a home that is both stylish and solid. The kitchen is outfitted with sleek energy-efficient appliances including a new inductive stovetop, oven, and dishwasher. An enclosed patio makes mornings something to look forward to. The updated bathroom features a Toto toilet with built-in bidet, a smart vanity mirror with medicine cabinet, USB charging, defrost, adjustable warm and cool LED lighting, and a digital clock display. The upgraded exhaust fan offers color-changing light and built-in Bluetooth speakers. The home's systems are equally impressive. A new HVAC with ductwork and whole-house air purifier (2023), a smart sprinkler system with programmable zones, a satellite system with no monthly fees, and Reolink voice-enabled security cameras. Smart switches throughout control lights and fans via Google Home, smart speaker, or phone, with full manual operation as well. Outside, a fully fenced yard with dog run, circular driveway, insulated remodeled shed, sustainably rebuilt chicken coop, and outdoor exercise equipment make the property as functional as it is beautiful. Bordering the Cosumnes River Preserve, the land draws songbirds, wildlife, and resident owls who emerge faithfully at dusk and dawn. Centrally located between Sacramento, Elk Grove, Lodi, Galt, Stockton, and the Delta towns with easy I-5 access, Thornton offers small-town calm with everything you need nearby. This is not just a house. This is a lifestyle, a sanctuary, and an opportunity all in one.
