About This Home

Level, usable land this close to downtown Walnut Creek is rare — much of the surrounding area sits on hillside lots. This property is different. Set on a largely level corner lot of nearly ½ acre in Walnut Heights, this single-story home offers the kind of open, usable ground that's hard to find this close in — room to garden, entertain, expand, or explore ADU potential, on one open expanse.  The backyard is built for how you actually want to live outside: raised garden beds, a tranquil pond, a sports court, and a large patio made for long evenings out. A versatile detached room handles hobbies, a home office, or whatever your lifestyle demands.  Inside, the open-concept layout flows effortlessly — hardwood floors throughout, a chef's kitchen anchored by a 6-burner Viking range and island seating for five, and a primary suite with direct backyard access. Three additional bedrooms, updated baths, and thoughtful storage round out the single-level living. A fully owned solar system — recently installed, no lease to inherit — is built to help cut energy costs for years. Walkable to Walnut Heights Elementary, and minutes to BART and downtown Walnut Creek.  Location, Home, and Land — you've found it!
