From Sierra foothills, this $1.5M modern home offers Folsom Lake, Sacramento city views
A newly built, modern, three-story home on the market in the Auburn bluffs offers unobstructed views of rolling hills, Folsom Lake and the Sacramento skyline — some 30 miles away.
The sweeping panoramic vista from every level of the house is the major selling point, but modern amenities and finishes throughout the home are impressive, as well.
The 3,100-square-foot residence — at 1146 Lantern View in Auburn, California — is listed for $1.5 million. With four bedrooms and three baths, the house sits atop a hill on more than a third of an acre.
“The views here are unparalleled, absolutely stunning,” listing agent Michael Yarmolyuk of 1st Choice Realty & Associates said. “You have Folsom lake. You have bits of downtown. It’s beautiful during the day, and it’s just as epic at night.”
The property is landscaped in the front, but the sloping backyard has been left wild. There are three balconies taking in the natural setting and southwestern views out back.
“You can sit here, drink your cup of coffee, and you’ll see either hawks, eagles, or vultures, and they fly here at eye level,” Yarmolyuk said.
The house was completed in 2022.
The top-level primary bedroom suite, which has a lounge area overlooking the street, the mid-level family room and gourmet kitchen and the downstairs game room and other bedrooms have the same stunning views.
“The architectural brilliance is evident in the design that seamlessly blends modern comfort with chic charm, featuring high ceilings, generous windows and doors that integrate the indoor and outdoor living spaces, allowing natural light and fresh air to flow through,” according to the property listing.
Designed for entertaining, the residence features a flowing, open-floor concept. A chef’s kitchen comes with high-end appliances, two sinks, a spacious island, lots of counter space, a hidden pantry and an expensive French-made La Cornue stove with golden knobs.
An elegantly modern floating staircase leading to each floor is a piece of art in itself.
“Each stair is chiseled perfectly, looks good (and) matches the floor, matches the cabinets and matches the paneling,” Yarmolyuk said.
