1228 El Encanto Way, Sacramento, CA 95831

This South Land Park home is hiding something you almost never get in one property, and the backyard isn't even the biggest surprise. Fully remodeled and reimagined, this 2,563 sq ft, 5-bedroom, 3-bath California Ranch with modern contemporary flair sits on about one-third acre in a quiet cul-de-sac. A large front porch overlooking the front yard creates the perfect spot for morning coffee, an evening drink, or simply watching the neighborhood go by. Vaulted ceilings, LVP flooring, imperfect-smooth walls, modern fixtures, recessed lighting, and board-and-batten accents add a polished feel. At the center is a large great-room concept connecting the kitchen, dining and living spaces. The kitchen brings the wow factor with waterfall quartz countertops, a gas range with pot filler, wall oven/microwave combo, and reverse osmosis filtration at the sink and refrigerator for drinking water and ice. An electric fireplace with a wood mantle anchors the living room, while double sliders open to the covered patio. Then comes the part you won't expect: the east wing functions almost like a home within the home. Two connected living spaces sit alongside a guest bedroom, full bath, laundry, dedicated front-door entrance, and slider access to the side and backyard. A built-in bar and cabinet area with mini-fridge adds versatility; with modification of the kitchen connection, this wing may offer potential for a more independent living arrangement or ADU conversion, subject to permits and approval. Out back, Sacramento summer is already handled: a heated built-in pool, dedicated gas fire-pit area, enormous covered patio, artificial turf, and low-maintenance landscaping create a backyard made for entertaining. Both bathrooms have been remodeled, and the finished garage adds recessed lighting, an EV charger, and pull-down ladder access to attic and rafter storage. A stamped-concrete driveway and RV access add more function. And the location seals it: sought-after South Land Park with quick I-5 access, minutes from the Sacramento River, multiple public golf courses, William Land Park, Sacramento Zoo, Fairytale Town, Sacramento Executive Airport, Gunther's and Vic's Ice Cream, and roughly 20 to 25 minutes to Sacramento International Airport. Pest clearance, roof certification, new sewer line, pool safety fence stored in the garage, no HOA, and no Mello Roos round out the package. This isn't just remodeled. It's designed to live bigger, host better, and adapt to what comes next.
