About This Home

Two Detached Homes on One Private 0.56-Acre Lot! This unique South Walnut Creek property features a 4 bed, 1.5 bath, 1,272 sq ft home with basement and adjoining workshop, plus a 2 bed, 2 bath, 1,314 sq ft home. Ideal for multigenerational living, extended family, rental income, or an investment opportunity, the flexible layout offers exceptional versatility. Surrounded by mature trees, the property enjoys a peaceful setting just minutes from Rudgear Park, downtown Walnut Creek, BART, hiking trails, shopping, dining, and highly regarded Walnut Creek schools. The front house offers a well-designed floor plan ready for its next chapter. A living room centered around a fireplace flows to a versatile flex space adjacent to the kitchen, offering endless possibilities as a family room, home office, or creative space. The kitchen provides generous cabinet storage and workspace. French doors from the primary bedroom and one secondary bedroom open directly to an expansive deck overlooking the natural setting. Two additional bedrooms share a hall bathroom, while the primary bedroom includes a private half bath. Privately positioned toward the rear of the property, the back house offers a thoughtfully designed two-bedroom, two-bath floor plan filled with warmth and architectural character. The spacious kitchen features hardwood flooring, a gas range, and abundant cabinetry. A step-down living room with a fireplace opens to a private deck, while an adjoining library and office area with built-in bookshelves and window seating creates an inviting space for working from home, reading, or quiet relaxation. The main level also includes a guest bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. Upstairs, the primary suite features vaulted wood ceilings, a fireplace, multiple decks, a walk-in closet, and an ensuite bathroom with a dual-sink vanity, stall shower, and distinctive Japanese soaking tub. Completing the property are a basement, studio workshop, covered carport, long driveway, and expansive grounds offering abundant room for gardening, recreation, hobbies, storage, or future improvements. Rarely does a property offer this combination of flexibility, privacy, and opportunity in one of South Walnut Creek's most desirable locations.
