Corner-Lot Halfplex with Sunroom Steps from Elk Grove High
What immediately distinguishes 8831 Minnie Circle is the corner-lot presence and a bright sunroom that expands usable living space—an ideal spot for a home office, play zone, or quiet reading nook. This two-story halfplex offers a practical, family-friendly layout across 2,001 square feet: a main-level bedroom and full bath for guests or multigenerational living, plus two upstairs bedrooms including a primary suite with an en suite bath and walk-in closet. The third bedroom also enjoys its own private bath, a layout that reduces morning traffic and increases privacy.
Inside you'll find an open-feeling living area anchored by a brick fireplace, providing a warm focal point for gatherings. The kitchen features durable tile counters and connects comfortably to the main living spaces, while the large laundry room—with built-in cabinets and a storage closet—makes organization effortless. Recent ownership has kept the home in good condition; mechanical systems are central heat and cooling and the roof is composition-built, typical for homes of this era.
Outdoors the property was designed for low-maintenance living: a tidy backyard that frees up weekends and a corner frontage that enhances curb appeal and privacy. The attached two-car garage plus driveway parking accommodate vehicles and weekend projects, and street access on Minnie Circle offers straightforward ingress and egress.
Location is a major asset. Families will appreciate being about 0.2 miles from Elk Grove High School, with Joseph Kerr Middle and Florence Markofer Elementary also within a short walk—making school drop-offs and after-school activities simple. Old Town Elk Grove and Elk Grove Park sit just over a mile away, bringing restaurants, shops, and open space within easy reach. Whether you’re a buyer seeking a move-in-ready family home, an investor attracted by rental prospects, or someone who values proximity to established community amenities, this halfplex balances convenience, functionality, and long-term value.
Note: property sold in 2022 for $504,000 and assessed at $534,847 in 2025. Comparable recent sales in the immediate area support a market range near the listed price. Buyers should verify lot boundaries, mechanical ages, and HOA or local requirements during inspection and escrow.

A factual market snapshot around 8831 Minnie Circle.
Elk Grove’s market currently reads as balanced with a slight tilt in favor of sellers. Inventory sits around 2.5 months—below what would be considered neutral—while average days on market near 32 indicate reasonably quick turnover for well-priced homes. Median sale prices in the broader area are roughly $645,000, and one-year appreciation is modest but positive (~5%), continuing a multi-year trend (approx. +25% since 2020) that reflects steady demand from families and professionals.
For this property type—a 3-bedroom single-family halfplex—the local market shows consistent buyer interest, particularly because of proximity to schools and low-maintenance yards. Comparable nearby halfplex sales in the last six months traded in the mid-$500Ks, supporting our valuation midpoint near $500,000. Rental comps and internal estimates suggest a gross rental estimate around $2,400–$2,600/month, making the home viable for investors seeking cash-flow or owner-occupants planning to offset mortgage costs.
Given the current inventory and average marketing times, well-presented homes priced in line with comps typically receive significant buyer attention within the first few weeks. This is a sensible window for both buyers and sellers: buyers can still negotiate, while sellers benefit from solid comparable sales and steady buyer demand. Verify inspection items—age of HVAC and roof—before finalizing terms.
