Truly surrounded by nature, set between two Walnut Creek Open Space trailheads from which you can reach the top of Mt. Diablo without crossing a road, this lovingly cared for, updated Joaquin Ranch beauty awaits its next fortunate owner. Terrific floor plan makes a glamorous first impression with soaring ceilings, spacious rooms and very flexible space including a ground floor bedroom and full bathroom and the enormous bonus/rumpus room which will entertain kids for days, be excellent office space or even converted to private quarters. The updated kitchen and family room open into a private yard which backs to open space and includes a built in barbecue with counter seating, a stone fire pit, pergola covered seating, raised beds, lawn and enormous viewing deck to see sunsets from Shell Ridge to Las Trampas. Three bedrooms including the spacious primary suite are upstairs. Easy access to the East Bay's finest downtown, BART, freeways, terrific schools, community parks and swim clubs, this Walnut Heights home has a great location.
