Own a Walnut Creek Gem
I can always tell when an engineer has lived in a home from the first moment that I set foot in it.
They're always level, the details are thoughtfully considered, the level of care is exceeds other homes of similar age by quite a bit.
411 La Vista Road was one of these where an engineer spent several decades of his life ensuring that. his home was well cared for, neat
and tidy. It is one of those rare gems that buyers search for years to find: large & single level, on a sprawling lot, with a fabulous layout in an absolutely stellar neighborhood.
Before I even begin to tell you about this home, I will tell you about the area- the name of the neighborhood: Lakewood- is named so for the lake you pass on your way to this home. It is exclusive in that only a certain # of homes have lake membership privileges, and this home happens to be one of them. For a fee, you can join the lake, and visit it any time you wish, canoe in it, picnic next to it in the summer, have your kids build sandcastles there, go to 4th of July parties there: you’re in Walnut Creek, and you have a lake: it’s really quite surreal and absolutely mesmerizing. The Lakewood community really enjoys it. So- if you happen to want the membership, you can pay for it and have it. :)
Now…onto the home…
This home had comfortable living in mind when it was built and then when it was remodeled. Two spacious living areas offer gas fireplaces for warmth, abundant windows giving natural light, and thoughtful details such as built-in bookcases and
window seats/reading nooks. Original, impeccable hardwood graces the floors underfoot.
We spend a large part our lives in the kitchen. If not prepping for meals, then gathering there when prepping for meals, surrounding the counters at holidays, standing around above a bowl of yogurt watching the squirrels in the trees out front. This kitchen will delight you with it’s practically, functionality and beauty. The appealing design features a vaulted ceiling with transom windows for maximum light, a ceiling fan and an open layout to the dining nook. So much cabinet space and multiple work areas allow one person to cook at the Theramador stove, another to prep coffee near the family room, and a third to act as sous-chef—without ever feeling crowded. The spots that make the every day fluid, neat…matter: such as a walk-in pantry and built-in desk. The kitchen sink peacefully overlooks the verdant front yard.
The bedroom layout is ideal in that 3 bedrooms + 2 baths are on one side of the house with 1 bedroom + 1 full bath on the other. This particular layout makes hosting guests, having an early morning uninterrupted work call, and the teenage years…delightful.
Energy efficiency rules here. An Owned Solar panel system and not one, not two, but THREE Tesla backup batteries ensure that you’ll always have power even if there’s neighborhood blackout.
The backyard is also both a relaxing paradise as-is, and has potential to be whatever you wish. Currently featuring a large rear covered deck with TV + 2 ceiling fans: this outdoor haven is calling for you to enjoy the great outdoors with the amenities of the indoors. :) A side basketball court area is perfect for those sports enthusiasts in your family, and large garden areas offer you a chance to grow all your groceries instead of running to Safeway every time you need lettuce. The view of the surrounding hillsides and trees on top of the sound of birds everywhere is one that is hard to replicate. Peace fills this neighborhood, and the sound of nature and quiet permeates the air.
Welcome home.

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.
