Look inside a magnificent, storybook Tudor mansion on Sacramento’s American River

A storybook Tudor mansion on the banks of the American River in Sacramento with “all the amenities of a 5-star resort” has hit the market for $3.7 million.

The spectacular property, which rests down a private lane behind dual entry gates, spans across five-and-a-half acres of manicured grounds.

“The house is an absolutely stunning estate,” listing agent Kim Pacini of Luxe Living said. “The gardens are absolutely sensational.”

The exterior comes alive with an outdoor kitchen, large lagoon-style pool, separate lap pool and spa surrounded by flagstone patios.

The amazing lot offers river access, as well as a pond, a wooded area, vine-covered gazebo, meandering paths, a tennis/pickle ball court and a rose garden reminiscent of the city’s McKinley Rose Garden on H Street.

“You never have to buy flowers again,” Pacini said.

Homebuilder’s vision

John Reynen, whose Sacramento-based company constructed thousands of homes in Northern California and Nevada, built the residence in 1988 for his family. Reynen died in 2018 at age 80.

The residence at 2400 E. Tiffany Lane, south of River Bend Park, is on the market for the first time.

“We are on five acres bordering the American River, with views around the property, but very hidden and private,” Pacini said.

The 8,972-square-foot home’s interior is well appointed with walnut-paneled walls, marble floors, four fireplaces, a large wet bar next to the dining room and expansive spaces for entertainment. There’s a hobby room with an adjacent office and huge basement that can be used for a gym or media room.

Under a stunning slate tile roof, the main house encompasses four bedrooms, three full baths and two powder rooms. The luxurious primary suite features its own sitting area in front of a fireplace and spa-inspired bathroom with views overlooking the property.

Two guest apartments are situated over the four-car garage.

The property “is a spectacular estate where all the amenities of a 5 star resort await you,” the property listing states.
