Epic Home on Quiet Cul-de-Sac
Rarely seen is the combination of newer construction on a large lot. Builders for the past few decades tended to subdivide a large lot and build homes on maximum a quarter acre lot. So when you see a newer home (1996) sitting atop a .39 acre pancake flat lot: it is exciting and refreshing.
Better yet- this home feels even newer than 1996 thanks to updates completed throughout the years.
Tucked away at the end of a private lane, on a well laid out lot backing to a small stream, sits this breathtaking beauty. You're immediately captured by the quality clay tile roof, gorgeous front door with glass windows, verdant landscape, and the backdrop of trees surrounding the home on all sides and in the back. Soaring 20+ foot ceilings greet you at the front door and a sunny, open layout promises great times ahead for daily life and of course, for parties.
Two well appointed living spaces + a formal dining area are equipped with enormous picture windows offering views of the surrounding trees and nature. The sensational, sprawling (newer) kitchen will bring you pure joy: roll out your fresh pie dough on the miles of Quartz slab countertops white cabinetry, enjoy cooking every evening with your gas stove + stainless appliances, put your cherished dishes on display on the open shelving, and have a place for all of your kitchenware in the miles of cabinetry + walk-in pantry. The tremendous dark blue island offers seating for four and centers the kitchen beautifully.
The Dalai Lama said: "Sleep is the best meditation”...which is accurate and he must have penned this after seeing this decadent primary suite. You'll sleep like a baby here, with the rear-facing primary bedroom that overlooks the backyard, stream & mature trees, with the sound of only the crickets and frogs in the evening. You'll be excited to wake up here as well: two spacious walk-in closets with a custom organization system give each partner nearly equal storage space. A breathtaking updated bath features a stall shower, so much storage, and a Jacuzzi jetted soaking tub. Best of all? A deck off the primary bedroom ideal for sitting with a glass of wine at the end of an evening, overlooking the private, lush backyard.
The bedroom layout is optimal. One bedroom plus a full bathroom downstairs offers the perfect guest room, office or teenage abode. Hardwood floors grace the first floor, and brand new high end lighting from Walnut Creek Lighting Company illuminate the home beautifully. The perfect window placement and large skylights offer natural light throughout the day, while still offering privacy from the neighboring home. A spacious three car garage ensures plenty of storage, place to park, or the potential gym setup that you've been hoping for.
The backyard is private, green, full of potential: beautifully surrounded by greenery, with a lawn area, spot for a play structure or gazebo, rear deck ideal for outdoor dining and large concrete pad on the right of the home, just right for a basketball court or RV parking. There is plenty of room should you choose to build a pool, outdoor kitchen, or fire pit: it is wonderful as it is, but also offers so much space for you to create your dream backyard.
Locationwise, this home is stellar: rural-feeling and quiet; yet just 1.1 mile from the fabulous Encina Grande Shopping Center and .4 of a mile from Northgate High School: you have the proximity to it all, while feeling like you're in the country and on vacation at once. If you enjoy the outdoors, rejoice! This home is just 1.7 miles to some of the best hiking in the area: visit the breathtaking Castle Rock Recreation Area or Borges Ranch (1.9 miles away): both offering some of the best hiking trails in the East Bay!

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.
