Fully furnished month to month only for the summer season. 'Custom built and bespoke' mid century modern poolside retreat w/ major Eichler vibes and guaranteed fun for the summer. The home was designed specifically for this entirely private .7 acre creekside setting and lot that has narrow dimensions making for especially interesting views. The original owner sourced this location among the best lots and streets available in all of Walnut Creek when he built this in 1952. There's good reason why Hawthorne Drive is one of WC's most favored streets. Nearby so much open space, wildlife and nature but just a few minutes to Downtown. Also, being right beside the town of Alamo - you'll find many gorgeous quaint public parks, pools, walking & hiking trails which are all teeming w/ local wildlife and smiling faces.

Huge south facing windows from a 10ft glass wall frame the private backyard views where a seasonal creek & bridge lead out towards a small pasture where you'll often find large families of deer resting and asleep beneath our trees. Each evening is marked with silence and the peaceful sounds of crickets breaking through the otherwise incredibly silent and still night skies. Enjoy brightly lit stars as the area isn't corrupted by any street lights or commercial nuisances. You'll find mostly large lots here with an R-20 designation - requiring a half acre lot size minimum of the neighboring homes originally built. The rear portion of the property ends at the base of Holly Hill which creates a secluded setting and scenery free from any neighboring windows at all or visible buildings. But the tall redwood fencing along both sides of the property add for additional privacy and offer a back yard that is fully fenced in. The layout and design of the home - it's bedrooms bathrooms and windows - all built custom to this lot and the location. They all function well to highlight the home's values.
