Welcome home to one of Walnut Creek's best-kept secrets. Nestled on a rare, expansive ~0.38-acre level lot, this classic 1953 bungalow blends timeless charm with extraordinary potential. Hardwood floors, a wood-burning brick fireplace, and sun-filled living spaces give this 2-bedroom, 1-bath home a warmth that's impossible to manufacture only earned over time. At 815 sq ft, every inch is thoughtfully functional, with a welcoming living area, a well-equipped kitchen, and convenient in-home laundry hookups. An attached garage and fully fenced yard round out the everyday essentials. But the real story is the land. Lots like this flat, generous, and full of possibility simply don't come up often in Walnut Creek. Whether you're dreaming of a lush outdoor sanctuary, a future ADU for rental income or multigenerational living, or a ground-up expansion, this canvas is ready for your vision. All of this sits just minutes from top-rated Pleasant Hill schools, Walnut Creek's vibrant dining and shopping scene, BART, and major commute corridors meaning location works as hard as the property itself. Move in, spread out, build up or all three. Opportunities like this don't wait.
