About Rancho Cordova's Anatolia

If you've always wanted to buy a Tim Lewis home in Anatolia, now is your chance. For home buyers who have been priced out of other homes in the Sacramento region, the city of Rancho Cordova offers plenty of opportunities to buy a newer home. There are huge swaths of undeveloped land south of Highway 50 that most likely will be developed over the next decade, so the time to buy a home in the path of progress is right now. Prices are low and interest rates are hovering near 5%.

This home, offered as a short sale, boasts more than 2,000 square feet and has a wonderful open layout. From the ceramic-tiled entry, you are greeted by a series of three soaring arches, suggestive of Old World Roman architecture.

The kitchen has ceramic counters and flooring, featuring cool touches such as under-cabinet lighting and a walk-in pantry, and a trio of pendants hang over the spacious kitchen island -- which is open to the Great Room. The spacious Great Room has a ceiling fan, gas fireplace and a built-in computer desk with overhead cabinets.

The master suite is remote from the other two bedrooms. Its master bath has double sinks, a separate tub, shower with ceramic walls and a huge walk-in closet with built-in shelves and drawers.
