Impressive backyard The Lincoln home in the golf community of Catta Verdera has a lazy river-style pool and resort living backyard. LuxStyle Real Estate <\/p>\n
Maslana\u2019s wife first spotted the Lincoln property online after her brother sent over another nearby listing. Clicking around the neighborhood, she landed on the Catta Verdera house \u2014 and its impressive backyard.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe saw the lazy river and that was like \u2018Oh my God,\u2019\u201d Maslana said. \u201cWe used to go to Vegas a lot, and liked to stay at the MGM, so we had many a time partying up the lazy river at the MGM.\u201d<\/p>\n
Things moved fast. Maslana called the agent on a Thursday, they toured Saturday, and bought the house that weekend, he said. The interior, already updated by the previous owners, exceeded their expectations, while the water features out back sealed the deal.<\/p>\n
Over time, the space became the go\u2011to spot for holidays and gatherings, especially the shallow wading pool tucked near the kitchen and a convenient bathroom.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a really good gathering point,\u201d Maslana said. \u201cBecause the primary pool is so cool and unique, you kind of don\u2019t really pay that much attention to the wading pool, but everyone puts their feet in and has a drink on the side. Younger children \u2026 can kind of splash around there, and you can keep an eye on them. They can\u2019t get into too much trouble. Or, if someone brings their dog, the dog can flap around.\u201d<\/p>\n
Maslano \u2014 founder, president and CEO of RFE, a Fremont-based maker of high-tech radio-frequency and microwave electronics for radar and wireless systems \u2014 said the property\u2019s outdoor setup was the instant hook when he came to the Sacramento area from nearby Pleasanton to look for a new home.<\/p>\n
A bridge takes you to a sitting area surrounded by the lazy river. The backyard also offers a hot tub, fire pit lounge and covered pavilion. LuxStyle Real Estate Yard designed for privacy<\/p>\n
Backing up to a greenbelt, the backyard is designed to feel private \u2014 less like a subdivision and more personal retreat. That sense of a getaway is part of how the listing agent sums up the experience.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s like being on vacation all the time,\u201d Messer said.<\/p>\n
But there\u2019s a lot more to the estate.<\/p>\n
Inside, the pitch is \u201csingle-level living\u201d without giving up space. The listing notes the expansive primary suite with a sitting area and fireplace, a guest bedroom, a dedicated office, two additional full baths and laundry all on the main floor, with the upstairs serving as a bonus zone \u2014 secondary living space, two bedrooms and a full Jack and Jill bathroom \u2014 ideal for kids, guests or extended family.<\/p>\n
Maslano said that was intentional for the way they live and host.<\/p>\n
The home at 1682 Camino Verdera spans 5,000 square feet with four to five bedrooms and four bathrooms. LuxStyle Real Estate <\/p>\n
\u201cWe wanted to have a house that kind of set up as where my wife and I can live on a single level, and then when we\u2019ve hosted people, they have almost a separate in-law set-up upstairs,\u201d Maslano said.<\/p>\n
The indoor kitchen, meanwhile, is framed as the engine of entertaining. Well appointed, the culinary space highlights a massive island clad in a premium, heat-resistant, cream-colored Taj Mahal quartzite with subtle beige and gold veining; a 48-inch high-end Bertazzoni range; two Bosch dishwashers; dual pantries; and abundant storage.<\/p>\n
The home has also been stylistically reworked. Maslano said one early goal was to pull away from an older aesthetic.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo task one, if you will, or motivation one, was to kind of de-Tuscanize it,\u201d he said. \u201c\u201cNow it\u2019s much more (up to date), lighter colors, contemporary styling.\u201d<\/p>\n
Their second task was to personalize the house for how they actually live: converting two unused storage areas into a 650-bottle, temperature\u2011 and humidity-controlled wine room and a secondary pantry off the laundry \u2014 generally tailoring the layout and finishes to better suit their own needs and tastes.<\/p>\n
Adjacent to the chef\u2019s kitchen is a large living room that opens out to the pool area. LuxStyle Real Estate $300,000 in improvements<\/p>\n
The property listing says more than $300,000 has been put into improvements and upgrades over the past several years, positioning the home as \u201cimmaculate\u201d and move-in ready.<\/p>\n
Maslano said the decision to sell is about right-sizing and buying a home closer to their children in Utah.<\/p>\n
The home also includes two fully finished two-car garages and solar, along with access to community trails and the Catta Verdera clubhouse and golf course.<\/p>\n
The custom wine room has controlled temperature and humidity. LuxStyle Real Estate <\/p>\n
