Sacramento's luxury home market features a blend of modern amenities, history, and record prices. A standout is a Granite Bay estate with a 4,000-square-foot indoor basketball court, gym, and entertainer’s kitchen. A historic 1880s Folsom Victorian, meticulously restored to preserve its original details, also hit the market.

Granite Bay saw its highest sale in years with a Santa Barbara-style home designed for a sports-car collection, boasting a temperature-controlled garage and resort-style outdoor spaces. Downtown living is represented by a spacious Kimpton Sawyer penthouse, offering panoramic city views and VIP Golden 1 Center access, recently selling at a notable auction price.

A Granite Bay home at 5940 Granite Glen Court spans 8,000 square feet and is perched on a hill in privacy.
