The pool gets the first glance. The kitchen might get the second. At 1414 Cedarbrook Road in West Sacramento's Newport Meadows, five bedrooms, three full baths, and an upstairs loft give you room to host a crowd or spend a perfectly good Sunday doing very little. The kitchen brings together a built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator, wine fridge, quartz countertops, and a tile backsplash. It's equally well suited to a proper dinner party and Tuesday takeout served on the good plates. Plantation shutters lend a tailored finish throughout, and upstairs, a designer built-in media center makes the loft an inviting spot for movie night or a little highly produced reality television. The spacious primary suite has two walk-in closets, a small luxury with considerable diplomatic value. Laundry is upstairs, while two bedrooms and a full bath on the main level give guests their own space and leave room for a home office or hobbies. Out back, the pool takes center stage, Sonos sets the mood, and the custom patio deck gives everyone a place to settle in. As the sun goes down, the Delta breeze makes her entrance. It would be a fabulous drag name, and she does arrive right when the party needs her. Garden planter boxes and a storage shed round out the yard, with a cozy seating area for whoever stays for one last drink. West Sacramento's riverfront bike trails and the Recreation Center's aquatics facilities are nearby. Nugget Markets has dinner covered, Target has the paper towels and whatever else follows you home, and DOCO and downtown Sacramento are close enough for a spontaneous night out. A Tesla charger and leased solar round out the amenities. As for the housewarming, you already know where everyone will end up.
