An Enchanting Escape
Set within the coveted Walnut Knolls neighborhood and nestled among a canopy of mature trees, this updated single-story home on nearly half an acre, blends thoughtful renovations with warmth, character, and understated elegance. Offering 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, the home features vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, hardwood floors, a new roof, designer lighting, and curated finishes throughout. The layout includes a spacious family room and two ensuite bedrooms, providing both comfort and flexibility.
The grounds are equally compelling. A generous backyard showcases a sport court, expansive space for a future pool or ADU, and an elevated seating area perfectly positioned to capture sunset views through the surrounding trees. With its scale, privacy, and picturesque setting, the property has even hosted multiple intimate weddings—an exceptional testament to its beauty and sense of place. Curb appeal is a standout, creating a warm and welcoming first impression.
Located just moments from the elementary school and near the optional Walnut Knolls Association, the home offers both convenience and a strong sense of community. Optional membership includes a pool, playground, and a year-round calendar of neighborhood events. Minutes from parks, top-rated schools, BART, and downtown Walnut Creek, with a shortcut bridge just down the street offering easy, direct access to downtown.

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.
