This charming East Sacramento home offers 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and 868 square feet of thoughtfully maintained living space. The 6,438 sq ft lot is notably larger than most in the neighborhood, giving you extra room to spread out.
Inside, original hardwood floors bring warmth and character, paired with practical updates: newer HVAC, improved insulation, an updated electrical panel, and a newer water heater the kind of behind-the-scenes maintenance that makes a home easy to live in.
The backyard has been transformed into its own private retreat, complete with a fountain for ambient sound, drought-tolerant and pollinator-friendly landscaping, lavender, flowering vines, and fruit trees including Meyer lemon, fig, and apricot. A mature Japanese maple anchors the space, and a large storage shed uncommon for this area adds everyday practicality.
The location puts you within walking distance of Compton's Market, Orphan Breakfast House, and a range of nearby restaurants, wine bars, and parks, including McKinley Park.
Note: there is a separate ADU on the property that shares the backyard, but it is not included with this rental.
Owner Pays for water and garbage. Renter is responsible for gas and electric.
