Description

Some invest in houses, some in art. Here you can do both. Designed in the 1960's by the renowned Sacramento area architect Carter Sparks and built by the owner over the next 20+ years, this house is available for the 1st time. Located on a quiet cul de sac and only 4 parcels from the American River this nearly one acre lot has mature trees of many species.. With 6 different roof aspects the house has a lot of solar potential in addition to the existing hot water solar panels. The construction is entirely concrete and steel hence fireproof. The last family member to live there reports not feeling any of the occasional earthquakes Northern California is known for. There are no interior or exterior load bearing walls with the lightweight concrete roof supported by the massive beams. The interior could be reconfigured from the current 4 bedrooms and large utility room. The sunken living room and open kitchen while designed in the 60's still work well today. The built in stained Glass and sculptural metal invites the next owner to decorate simply and enjoy a very unique house. With a walk in shower and same level parking the house is very accessible. Includes original blueprints and as built drawings by the owner/builder.
