Walnut Heights! This incredibly special property has the potential of being even more special! Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright, this one-of-a-kind Mid-Century Custom was designed and built in 1953 by the original owner. Now it is on the market for the first time by the original owner’s daughter. This premium lot is adjacent to two creeks and is set back off the road on a large oak studded .6-acre private lot with beautiful pool and in-law unit. Having sufficient room to add on, the potential exists for adding an outdoor kitchen, gazebo, fire pit or whatever your heart desires. The main house consists of three bedrooms and two baths [1.732 SF per appraisal]. The in-law has a separate entry and consists of another bedroom and bath [580 SF per appraisal]. If you are looking for a peaceful, private, and secluded property surrounded by wildlife, and in one of Walnut Creek’s most sought-after neighborhoods, this is the place. Live in the country and at the same time enjoy the vibrant downtown which is just a short distance away. Proximity to 24 and 680 freeways and highly rated schools make this the ideal location. Live in the in-law unit while you contemplate remodeling or making changes. With a little updating, this can be your dream estate.
