Story
The house
Comfort, kept beautifully.
At about 1,706 square feet on a 7,438 square foot lot, this single-story home makes the everyday easy. The living room and family room are separate, so movie nights, entertaining, and quiet mornings each get their own space.
The updated kitchen adds granite look counters, both bathrooms have been refreshed, and the primary bath shower includes grab bars for added convenience. Pride of ownership shows in every room.
A large covered patio turns the backyard into a second living room, with open parklike views beyond the fence.Read the full first look

The neighborhood
Life on Emerald Drive.
Emerald Drive sits in North Merced, in the heart of the Central Valley and about two hours from Yosemite. Schools, shopping, restaurants, and daily conveniences are minutes away, and the CA-99 corridor links the city to Fresno, Modesto, and points beyond.
Explore the neighborhoodSchools
Luther Burbank Elementary (K-6) and Herbert Hoover Middle (7-8) serve the area, with Golden Valley High the typical high school feeder. Boundaries are being redrawn, so confirm current assignments with the district.
Commute
CA-99 runs through Merced: about 45 minutes to Fresno, 40 to 50 minutes to Modesto, and roughly two hours to Sacramento. UC Merced, the UC system's 10th campus, anchors the city's east side.
Around town
Applegate Park, Merced's oldest park at about 50 acres, is home to a zoo and shaded picnic grounds. Downtown favorites Jantz Cafe & Bakery and Toni's Courtyard Cafe are a short drive from Emerald Drive.
