Sweeping Mt. Diablo views, multiple outdoor living spaces, and an inverted floor plan define this home in the popular Walnut Creek hills. Positioned to maximize the views, the main living spaces are located on the upper level, while the bedrooms occupy the entry level. Expansive windows and recessed lighting throughout enhance the home's bright and open feel. Step through the front door into a welcoming foyer. The entry level features a spacious primary suite with a fireplace, two closets, direct access to a private deck, and an en-suite bathroom with dual sinks and a stall shower. Two additional bedrooms share a full hall bathroom, with under-stair storage and direct access to the attached two-car garage rounding out the level. Upstairs, oversized windows frame Mt. Diablo views throughout the main living areas. The dining area flows into the living room, where a fireplace and French doors to the upper deck create an easy indoor-outdoor connection. A fourth bedroom with its own half bath offers flexibility for guests, a home office, or additional living space. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a pantry, breakfast bar, and ample cabinetry, with direct access to a second upper deck. Outside, mature trees shade multiple decks and a generous yard with plenty of room to spread out, entertain, or simply enjoy the views and the quiet of a hillside setting. Located minutes from Downtown Walnut Creek's shopping and dining, BART, Highways 24 and 680, and the trails surrounding Mt. Diablo, this home is also served by highly rated Walnut Creek schools.
