This charming 2BR/1BA upstairs flat in Fair Oaks EcoHousing, a multi-generational cohousing community just east of Sacramento, looks out into the canopies of two beautiful Live Oak trees, which provide summer shade, privacy, and year-round glimpses of birds and squirrels.
- The well-designed open floor plan, efficient storage, glass exterior doors and large windows make it light, airy, and spacious.
- The kitchen door leads to a deck overlooking the community, connecting you with neighbors going by—a perfect place for a cup of tea, a visit with friends, and a view of the colorful buildings.
- The kitchen has stainless steel appliances, quartz counters, and light maple soft-close cabinets.
- Custom upgrades include bamboo floors and Hunter-Douglas shades.
- Extra deep closets and built-in shelves extend storage twice as far, and the hall closet is plumbed for washer and dryer (although there is the free laundry in the Common House).
- Excellent sound insulation adds to the sense of peace.
- Benefits of an upstairs flat include good exercise and no landscape maintenance costs; community members provide support if you are ill or injured, so no need to worry about stairs!
- The flat is 937sf. The centrally-located Common House supplements your living space, with kitchen and dining room, lounge, children’s playroom, craft room, free laundry, two guest rooms, patio and grill.
- Additional amenities include pool and spa, workshop, electric charging stations, community garden, small orchard, and a Little Library!

- passive heating/cooling
- double-pane low e2 windows
- high efficiency water heater
