Life in Rancho San Miguel
∎
Set in the heart of Rancho San Miguel and cherished by the same family for 50 years, this 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom Eichler embodies the iconic indoor-outdoor living these architectural treasures are known for. The home has been thoughtfully updated with fresh interior paint and carpeting, and a sleek modern front door, honoring its mid-century roots while offering today's comfort and ease.
Floor-to-ceiling glass fills the living room and primary suite with natural light, seamlessly connecting you to the landscape. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, generous storage, and convenient pullout shelving, while custom dining room built-ins add both character and utility. Central A/C and double-pane bedroom windows ensure year-round comfort and everyday livability. The private backyard serves as an extension of the home, featuring a manicured lawn area for play or pets or gazing at the stars, garden beds with rosemary and flowers, and plenty of room to plant your own.
Whether you are dining alfresco, lounging in the sun, or exploring future possibilities like a pool or ADU, this outdoor space is a true sanctuary. Ideally located in one of Walnut Creek’s most beloved neighborhoods, you are just minutes from downtown shopping, dining, BART, freeway access, Heather Farm Park, the Rancho San Miguel swim club, and top-rated schools. Loved by one family for generations, this Eichler home is ready for its next chapter.

about
Walnut Creek
∎
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.
