Nestled in the foothills of Folsom at 312 Tobrurry Way is an out-of-this-world architectural wonder known as the Space Ship.

Listed at a hair under $2.4 million, this 4,000-sqft “space luxe” home boasts stunning views of the Sacramento Valley, stretching all the way to downtown’s skyline, along with a contemporary design that looks as if it was pulled directly from “Blade Runner” — minus all the neon and existential crises.

Some of the home’s features include:

Four ensuite bedrooms
Four full bathrooms + one half-bathroom
Great room with floor-to-ceiling windows
Four car garage with an elevator up to each story of the house
Loft office
0.34 acre lot
Open-design kitchen
Large front deck that sits 40 ft above ground

The home was built by owner Doug Cummings + architect Bruce Whitelam, who worked together with commercial-qualified structural engineers to make the minimalist, steel-frame house a reality.

Drink

Oak Park Brewing Co. will host its annual Peoples Beer Fest on Saturday, Oct. 7, along Third Avenue. Billed as California’s largest Black beer festival, more than 20 breweries and wineries will be on hand for attendees to sample, along with family-friendly activities, music, art, and more. Pour yourself a glass of tickets.

State

A new law signed by Governor Gavin Newsom will guarantee employees in the Golden State receive five sick days per year, instead of three, starting in January. The new law also bumps up the amount of sick leave a worker can roll over into the new year. (KCRA 3)

Active

Fall means perfect biking weather — and studies have shown that e-bike riders typically ride more often (and for longer distances) than traditional bike riders. This brand carries new and certified pre-owned e-bikes at up to 60% off retail; delivering them 99% assembled to your doorstep. Use code RUN for $100 off.*

Last night, we were invited to check out TBar’s newest location in Rocklin.

The tea bar and fusion cafe offers 25+ different teas — which can be ordered frozen, iced, hot, or sparkling — along with their signature Fusion Bowls and Fusion Wraps. Each bowl + wrap comes with a choice of protein, grain/salad, and dressing, as well as avocado, edamame, carrots, and sprouts for a full-flavored bonanza.

Wanna have what we’re having? We ordered:

Lemondrop Freeze (green tea + lemonade sorbet)
Matcha Sin (house specialty matcha green tea)
Fusion Bowl with cracked pepper London broil, white rice and creamy teriyaki sauce
Fusion bowl with grilled ginger tofu, quinoa rice blend, and wasabi ginger sauce

If you’re not up for the drive to Rocklin, you can stop by TBar’s Midtown location at 2700 Capitol Ave. — don’t forget to skip the line by ordering ahead.
