Property 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.
