The area of “Cool” offers a variety of outdoor activities to fill your days.
If the community name is any indication, this home is too Cool for words. Don’t believe us? Well, let the photos take you on a grand tour of this amazing property and home. It’s spectacular both inside the home and also is a gorgeous outdoor living space. In the backyard are fantastic views of the mountains … to the front, a beautiful fountain and palm trees frame a picturesque view.
When you enter Meadowview Acres, you feel a sense of calm and happiness with the drive in … head up the road to 4620 Country View Ct, and you are met with a grand view of the house, something anyone would be proud to call home.
Around 30 to 35 Minutes from Roseville, CA! Just outside of Auburn, CA
The grand entry sets the tone in your mind, for how beautiful the home promises to be … The minute you walk in the home, you are immediately met with more beautiful views, elevated ceilings, attractive light fixtures and fans, and warm color schemes and attractive decor. This is a warm and inviting space. Grand, yet also inviting and comfortable – the perfect blend of beauty, attractive and functional design, and comfort.
Beyond the beauty, this home brings great function and also help on the pocketbooks. This property comes equipped with solar panels. If you want to look past the needs of keeping the A/C going during the summer, don’t forget about the fantastic salt water pool (heated). With a heated pool, your swimming months get extended for longer year-round enjoyment … how very “cool” … wait, scratch that … it’s very warm and nice. 🙂
The Master Bedroom is open, spacious, bright, and has backyard access. Two spacious closets, with the south closet having a window for natural light. Inside the Master bath, which is equally spacious and open … you find a separate lavatory, tub to center, and a separate shower stall with two shower heads, as well as a double vanity set up.
The Master is adjacent to the hallway bathroom (which also has patio / bkyd access) – an attractive space with beautiful decor. The front bedroom is currently being used as an office, but it does have a closet to function as a bedroom.
To the Kitchen, cool-toned granite counter tops contrast nicely against the crisp white cabinetry. Bar-area seating, Pantry, office space, breakfast nook space.
In the Family room, you will love all the built-in features (white cabinetry) in the family room and dining space. There’s also the entertainment center, wet-bar, office space (closer to the Kitchen) … attractive and functional.
Off the Family room and Kitchen, you will find bedrooms three and four towards the front of the home. They are joined by a “Jack-N-Jill” bathroom. The spacious possible fifth bedroom is currently broken up into two rooms (almost like a Master Suite, but without the connected bath and formal closet). See the pictures for yourself (Palm Tree Pic “sitting area” + Lavendar Room “primary”). Three/Four bedrooms to the North and the Master bedroom and Bedroom Two (office currently) to the South of the home.
In the backyard, you will see the gorgeous salt water pool (heated), lush and attractive landscaping, views of the Sierras, and also the private-feeling spa set-up to the East of the yard. The backyard is fenced in for your furry four-legged friends. Another wonderful feature: the current owners also extended the patio area – it’s absolutely gorgeous. The patio goes from the Master area all the way down to the Family room. The porch also has attractive recessed lighting – so your evening get-togethers can continue past sunset. Having went out at sunrise for my photo shoot, I will admit – it’s absolute heaven the views from the backyard. **Photos and Tours ranged from 730am-4pm**

Hello, I’m Heather Ostrom, a REALTOR with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Roseville, CA.
I originally wrote this post back in 2013. Wowza, does time fly fast. So updates to this post (2015): for three years consecutively, I have had the amazing privilege of being on the Coldwell Banker International Social Squad. And now in 2016, I have been asked again to participate in the social squad, but lets keep this as my happy 2015 post.
A lot has changed since even 2013, including our waist lines.
For New York, Hollywood, and now Chicago #GenBlue – I have had the opportunity to continue to be a brand ambassador in the social media waters and as a positive figure for our company, Coldwell Banker. It’s a great honor, and not something I take lightly, along with our clients and business.
Last year I even had the privilege of going on stage with Jane Lynch, to say I had an amazing time, would be an understatement. We work hard, but we also like to be fun to work with (particularly since this tends to be one of the more stressful points in your life, buying and selling a home). We take pride in our experience and personal touch to do all we can, both in education, and making the experience more enjoyable.
So what why do we attend the Gen Blue experience, year-after-year? See below – all that changes is, that it only gets better each year. Evolving with tried and true ways of working, mixed with the new expectations of consumers, and ways to work smarter and not harder.
How Has Attending the #GenBlue Conference Improved Us?
#GenBlue is the Coldwell Banker Annual International Conference. For the past three years, Steve and I both have attended the conferences. Gen Blue offers classes for self-improvement and inspiration to improve anyone who is part of the Coldwell Banker brand – both for elevating our online and offline skills.
Attending these Coldwell Banker #GenBlue conferences has changed Steve and I in so many positive ways in relationships, work habits and tools, and personal improvement. I have met so many talented individuals across the country who have forever changed me – sharing tips and also putting me in touch with solutions that I may not have found on my own.
Networking, Classes, Amazing Speakers, Inspirational Classes, and One-On-One Opportunities
Talk / writing is cheap, without proof, right? You’re probably saying, “Hey Heather, give me direct evidence for improved behaviors and some feedback on the conference.” Fair enough (bare with me as I talk about myself in third person). 😉
First and foremost, videos. I learned what techniques to improve our videos. “Slow pans” … dynamic backgrounds, changing your setting for videos, while realizing the importance of “audio.” I learned from other agents their own person tricks in video editing.
Online tools – Stephanie Hahn was an amazing past speaker at Gen Blue. She fueled me to explore Google Tools more and how insanely amazing all the options are …. I now use the G-Cal and attachments like an online ninja and my clients love it.
Matthew Ferrara, Philosopher – A CB speaker staple and never ceases to be awesome. I learned about online and offline behaviors and how he conducts his business (he’s fantastic). Not to mention, Matthew was part of one of the most epic moments of conference history witnessed – Ferrara vs. Mike Ferry in 2011. Steve O and I STILL talk about this event.
I also learned and got to know Debra Trappen and Linda Aaron better and learned all of their SwissArmyKnife tricks for better interaction online and improved visuals online. Such happy energy and the crowd dialogue was intoxicating with the Q&A that was initiated.
The main stage speakers – inspiration for the soul and mind. Always a “wow” factor every year of someone from outside of real estate and also some of the best in our business.
Finally, and definitely not least – the final party is ALWAYS amazing. Sure, it may sound immature to rank a party amongst the reasons, but I definitely made new friends from dancing and going around introducing myself to new agents. I also have earned quite a few referrals because people remembered me. How awesome is that?
Direct from the Source: I learned how to better use the amazing tool of CB Exchange (formerly CBWorks) – the undiscovered gem of educational videos, logos, and templates. Also some of the nerdiest of nerds (written with the highest affection), that told us how to leverage the free info to do our market updates.
Online and Offline Agent Improvements
Whether you’re a broker, manager, marketing bossy pants, or an agent in the field … the Conference is not just about online items – it’s about the entire package of being a real estate agent in the current age.
Year-after-year, Coldwell Banker continues to set-up a FRESH and NEW schedule for their agents and brokers, BUT also in the education straight from the agent’s mouth. I gain so much from the Q and A’s that happen from the audience, as well as the agent panels, and speakers. Interactions are always dynamic and passionate.
Steve O and I have always thought of Coldwell Banker to be the best. I’m proud to be #GenBlue. So if You’re Coming to the Conference, I’m very tall (6ft) and I love orange – please come up and say “hi” and I look forward to meeting and sharing with you! I’m proud to be #GenBlue

Who doesn’t love living in a court? Home has views of the green space and is absolutely adorable inside. See the pictures online or set an appointment to view.
You’ll love the matching granite throughout the house. Music and movie lovers will be thrilled with the surround sound in the living room – it has a fantastic sound. Tons of counter space in the kitchen, including a breakfast nook area and built-in desk. Out your front door, you have views of a greenbelt. A dual-zone A/C is a fantastic addition – control over the first and second floor temperatures.
More great items: Dog-run, dual pane windows, patio cover with ceiling fan (keeps the space cooler during bbq meals on the porch), garage cabinets, newer floors downstairs, and fresher paint in most of the home.
3-Car Tandem Garage creates additional storage area, work zone, or perhaps a gaming area?

Thank you for checking out this lovely home in Lincoln Crossing.
Heading to the back of the home, you’ll notice the spacious back yard and lush green lawn. In the backyard there are three citrus trees (two orange and one lemon). Perfect for when you need an orange or lemon slice for your ice water on a hot day. Plus there’s plenty more room for planting other trees.
Heading inside the home is a fantastic living space. Home has a large Master with sitting area. Off the Master bath is a large walk-in closet, separate tub and shower stall, and a double-sink vanity.
More great details: plantation shutters, family+living rm, kitchen has an island w/sink+bar area, gated off dog-run + porch (nice safety feature), 5-burner stove, over sized 2-car garage with tons of storage), great nearby trails + rec center with pool. See the photos below – such cute rooms and living areas. Fantastic storage opportunities in the garage. In the Kitchen, there are fantastic sliding drawers in the cabinets below the stove.
If you love trails, there are some fabulous nearby walking trails nearby. Placer County is a fabulous place to call home. The Lincoln Crossing Rec Center is absolutely fabulous too (links below). The community club has two fantastic pools, a spa, gym, and you can host parties there. A fantastic option – leave the pool maintenance to someone else, right?
Sellers have loved living in this area and have enjoyed the walking and biking trails and that the home is close to shopping, there are many nearby parks and playgrounds, and the area has a small town feel without being too small, nor rural (though your only a short while away from horse trails and other outdoor activities)
We’ll have a virtual tour by Monday / Tuesday of Next Week for Buyers out of area
Or may you’re just relocating within Placer County … We’re often asked about taxes for a property they’re interested in buying and the breakdown of those taxes.
We can help you find the info and answers to your questions! And when in doubt, ALWAYS contact the Placer County Tax Collectors Office 530-889-4120 or the Placer County Assessor’s Office at 530-889-4300. Buyer to verify all information found on this website with the county. A real estate agent cannot relay this information for risk of information changing (and beyond their control), but we know you need and want this info (as would we).
