Sacramento’s “Groovy House” Hits the Market in South Land Park

Some homes are designed to blend in. This one was designed to be remembered.

Built in 1964 and tucked into Sacramento’s beloved South Land Park neighborhood, this three-bedroom, two-bath home is a celebration of Mid-Century style, fearless color and the belief that a home should have a personality all its own.

And this particular home already has a following. Welcome to 6571 Lake Park Drive in Sacramento, CA. 

From 1964 Ranch to Technicolor Dream

The 1,536-square-foot home belongs to interior designer and vintage dealer Jennifer Dion, who purchased the property in 2021 and transformed it through a design philosophy she calls “Curated Maximalism.” Rather than erase the home’s past, Dion leaned into it, drawing inspiration from the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s while preserving and restoring many of its original elements.

Original hardwood floors were uncovered, sanded and refinished. Fresh white walls created a canvas for an extraordinary collection of vintage furnishings, art, lighting and accessories. Throughout the home, a foundation of black and white gives way to unexpected bursts of hot pink, orange and other saturated hues, while dramatic lighting adds another layer of personality. 

“So much of a home’s history can be lost when it’s redesigned, but this home has stayed true to its roots. It celebrates the era it was built in while embracing the personality and vibe that make it so special.”

The result isn’t a recreation of another era. It feels like a joyful continuation of it.

A Sacramento Home with a Story

Long before the “For Sale” sign arrived, this home was turning heads.

Its interiors were selected for the 2025 Preservation Sacramento Historic Home Tour, where the property appeared alongside architecturally significant Eichler homes and quickly became a crowd favorite. Its nickname was fitting: “The Groovy House.”

The home was later featured in Comstock’s Magazine as “Sacramento’s Grooviest House,” offering readers a look inside Dion’s Technicolor world of Mid-Century design. 

Step inside today and it’s easy to understand the attention.

The living room is anchored by warm wood floors and a fireplace, then layered with color, pattern, vintage lighting and carefully collected pieces. It’s visually striking, but it’s also wonderfully inviting—a room that practically asks for cocktails with friends, an intimate dinner party or a game night that lasts longer than planned.

Throughout the home, the details become conversation pieces of their own.

Perhaps nowhere is that more evident than in the kitchen. Dion preserved the home’s original pink cabinetry, pairing it with a colorful linoleum floor, updated appliances and floral window treatments created from vintage fabric. The result is a playful tribute to the Atomic Age that still functions for life today.

“I wanted this to be a home that was fun and meant to be shared. The living room has become such a gathering place—whether it’s an intimate dinner, game night, cocktails with friends or just an evening that turns into a great memory. I love having a home where people walk in, immediately have something to talk about and feel like they can stay awhile. I love lava lamps. I love retro. I love groovy. It just all came together. More than anything, I’ve loved filling this home with friends, family and memories.”

— Jennifer Dion, Vintage Reseller Specializing in Mid-Century Modern and Decor from the 1960’s and 1970’s.

Dion’s affection for the home as a gathering place is reflected in the original feature, which describes it as a magnet for friends and family and notes how much she enjoys sharing the environment she created.

Mid-Century Personality Meets Modern-Day Living

For all its design credentials, this is not a museum. It is a home meant to be lived in.

With three bedrooms, two bathrooms and 1,536 square feet, the home offers comfortable, approachable spaces wrapped in an aesthetic rarely found on the market.

Outside, mature trees and low-maintenance landscaping continue the relaxed California feel, while a large neighborhood park is just down the street. Set within established South Land Park, the property offers something increasingly difficult to replicate: a home with history, personality and a point of view.

For the Mid-Century enthusiast, the design lover or simply the buyer who believes a home should feel personal rather than predictable, The Groovy House is an opportunity to own something truly one of a kind.

Not simply a place to live, but a place to gather, entertain, create—and be remembered.

Distinctive. Joyful. Groovy. And now, officially on the market.
