Description

Nestled beneath tree-lined canopies in Walnut Creek's coveted historic Almond-Shuey district, this lovingly maintained 1949 cottage offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history on one of the neighborhood's largest parcels (0.23 acres). Known for its quiet, front-porch community feel and storybook architectural variety, the Almond-Shuey area sits on the doorstep of the city's vibrant core. Preserving its timeless character-including warm hardwood floors-alongside thoughtful modern updates, this home is ready to welcome its next steward. The interior has been recently refreshed with new quartz countertops, a new gas range, and crisp interior paint, building upon prior comprehensive updates that included upgraded electrical, plumbing, dual-pane windows, a tankless water heater, and a dedicated carport space. Outside, the exceptionally deep lot provides a retreat to establish an expansive garden sanctuary. Zoned D-3 within the Almond-Shuey Neighborhood Overlay District, (buyer to verify expansion potential with the City of Walnut Creek). The location offers an effortless, pedestrian-friendly lifestyle: stroll just blocks to morning coffee, world-class dining, artisan bakeries, Broadway Plaza, the Lesher Center for the Arts, and the weekly farmers market, all while enjoying seamless proximity to Walnut Creek BART and major commute corridors.
