The Story

About This Home

4928 10th Ave is a 1930 craftsman bungalow in Tahoe Park: covered front porch, wood siding, original five-panel doors, and a three-window bay across the front room. Two bedrooms, one bath, about 771 square feet on a 5,663 square foot lot zoned R-1.

The front door opens into the main room, which runs back to the kitchen. The kitchen is simple and functional: white cabinets, a window over the sink, a dishwasher and a freestanding electric range. Laminate flooring runs through the house, and laundry is inside.

The two bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath with a clawfoot tub and shower, so each bedroom has its own door into it. Heat is a floor furnace and a wall furnace; cooling is an evaporative cooler.

The backyard is the reason to look twice. Behind the house is a deep, fenced rear yard with a deck off the back door, a couple of storage sheds, and not much else. For a buyer who wants a second unit, that open ground matters more than anything inside. The ADU section below covers what the City offers and what to check first.

Plainly: there's no garage, the yard is dirt today, and the house hasn't been remodeled. It's priced accordingly. Stockton Boulevard and Broadway are a few blocks away, with UC Davis Medical Center and Aggie Square about a mile north and Highway 50 close by.

Value-Add Opportunity

Room Out Back for a Second Unit

The house takes up a small share of a 5,663 sq ft lot. The rest is a deep, fenced rear yard with no garage in the way, the kind of open ground buyers look for when they want to add a detached ADU to rent out, or to live in one unit and rent the other.

The City of Sacramento offers free, pre-approved Shelf Ready plans for detached ADUs in studio, one- and two-bedroom layouts. A pre-approved plan skips the custom design phase and goes straight to permit.
Under the City's pre-approved plan program, the ADU's exterior walls must sit at least five feet from every lot line and from other structures on the lot.
The rear yard is open apart from the storage sheds, so a site plan starts from a mostly clean slate.
Before you count on a unit, confirm utility service, sewer, setbacks, lot coverage and fees with the City. I'm happy to walk the yard with you or your designer.
