Elevated Private Retreat.
Centrally Located.
Centrally Located.
Perched on a nearly flat half-acre lot with a private gated driveway, this showpiece home in the highly desirable Walnut Knolls neighborhood truly has it all—space, privacy, and elevation—just minutes from the heart of downtown Walnut Creek. Set above the street, each day begins and ends with beautiful sunrises and sunsets, best enjoyed from the private front bar area where golden hour becomes a daily ritual and quiet moments feel intentional.
Completely remodeled in 2022, the home is both stunning and thoughtfully updated, offering peace of mind alongside style with new plumbing, electrical, drywall, and roofing throughout. The heart of the home is the beautifully updated kitchen, featuring quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, and designer lighting that elevates everyday cooking and gathering alike. The bathrooms echo the same refined aesthetic, with quartz surfaces, modern finishes, and spa-inspired details that make daily routines feel indulgent.
The property features three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms within the 1,844 Sq. Ft. main home, plus two fully finished detached studios of 120 Sq. Ft. each with electrical and mini split systems, offering approximately 2,084 Sq. Ft. of combined living and studio space. Whether used as a private home office, creative studio, fitness space, guest retreat, or quiet escape, these additional spaces allow the home to adapt effortlessly to the way you live today. A large storage shed adds even more functionality without compromising the openness of the lot.
The backyard is designed to be experienced. Unwind in the private hot tub under the stars, host unforgettable gatherings with room to spread out, or simply enjoy the serenity of a setting that feels worlds away from it all. It’s the kind of space where memories are made—slow mornings, lively evenings, and everything in between.
Despite the sense of seclusion, the location remains incredibly connected, just moments from parks, top-rated schools, BART, and the dining, shopping, and vibrant energy of downtown Walnut Creek.
Adding to the incredible neighborhood, there is the option to join the Walnut Knolls Association, offering access to a community pool, playground, and a calendar of beloved events including Easter egg hunts, casino nights, glow-in-the-dark pool parties, and more—creating a true sense of connection and community.
2216 Blackwood Drive offers the best of both worlds—a private, elevated retreat with modern upgrades, flexible living spaces, and a location that keeps you close to everything Walnut Creek has to offer.

Neighborhood
Walnut Creek sits at the base of Mount Diablo with quick access to open space, the Iron Horse Regional Trail, and BART service from two nearby stations (Walnut Creek and Pleasant Hill/Contra Costa Centre), making trips to Oakland, San Francisco, and the Tri-Valley straightforward.
Downtown centers on Broadway Plaza —an open-air shopping district with flagship retailers like Nordstrom and Apple—plus scores of cafes and services. The Lesher Center for the Arts anchors the arts scene with hundreds of performances each year.
Parks and trails are a big draw: the city maintains 16 parks and 3,000+ acres of protected open space, and Civic Park’s habitat gardens (including a butterfly garden) sit steps from the Iron Horse Trail.
You’ll find a mix of homes in Walnut Creek: 1950s–70s ranches on larger lots, pockets of mid-century Eichlers in Rancho San Miguel, and established areas like Parkmead and Northgate with tree-lined streets and community pools. Near BART and downtown are townhomes and condo buildings—many newer, mixed-use, and walkable. In the hills, custom homes capture Mount Diablo views. Walnut Creek also includes Rossmoor, one of the Bay Area’s largest 55+ communities, with condos, co-ops, and single-level homes plus resort-style amenities.
