LAKEWOOD HOME: Park-like yard, top schools, close to hiking trails + downtown shopping + 24/680 freeways + BART

Beautiful 4 BR 3 BA house available for rent in the Lakewood area, the most sought-after neighborhood of Walnut Creek. This is truly a home like no other, and offers the best of everything for everyone in the family! After recently-completed renovations, the home has many brand-new features: Kitchen, pantry/laundry room, hardwood flooring throughout the home, dining space with bay window, an ADU, and extra parking.

The main home is 3 BR 2 BA, and a brand-new adjoining ADU provides an additional 1 BR 1BA with a kitchenette, private bathroom, and walk-in closet -- it would be the perfect guest suite, in-law unit, or second primary suite! The ADU's french doors serve as a private entrance, opening into the home's central courtyard on one side, and a bay window overlooks the driveway on the other side.

The home showcases two floor-to-ceiling walls of windows looking into an inner courtyard. The central, spacious courtyard & park-like backyard are perfect for lounging, for hosting large gatherings and family events, etc. The stunning kitchen is newly-renovated after a full demo -- it's a chef's dream and has a beautiful long island for family and friends to hang out in the middle of the action! The dining space could easily be used as a second seating/social area in addition to the adjoining living room.

The bedrooms are spacious and well-lit, with beautiful views of the gardens. Two of the bedrooms -- including the primary bedroom -- have original built-in cabinetry, and a third bedroom has a sliding door that opens to a small patio (perfect for a cafe table) and the larger yard. The open floor-plan, wide windows, and fantastic natural light make the home feel even larger than it is! There is abundant storage/closet space within the kitchen, pantry/laundry room, in every bedroom, and in the built-in hall closets that are also original to the home.

Indian Valley Elementary, Walnut Creek Intermediate, and Indian Valley Swim Club are within walking distance and the highly-ranked Las Lomas High School is nearby. The Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) is within a bike ride, making San Francisco, Berkeley, Oakland, and the rest of the Bay Area a convenient commute away. Downtown Walnut Creek shopping at Broadway Plaza and Main St. boutiques is minutes away by bike and car.

Even in the middle of it all, this exclusive neighborhood has a country charm to it, as it adjoins the Shell Ridge Open Space. Excellent hiking and biking are within walking distance from the rear entry of the home, as there is a backyard gate opening onto Marshall Drive for direct access to walking to/from the swim club, Indian Valley Elementary, Shell Ridge, etc.

The home is situated on a nearly-half-acre lot. The park-like yard encompasses a gazebo, pergola, arbor, large, well-lit deck space, lighted pathways, and flower gardens – a perfect environment for private entertaining. There is a storage shed, and many fruit trees on the property, including several varieties of citrus, pomegranate, persimmon, and fig, to name a few. All trees, shrubs, and flowers were lovingly planted and cared for by the owners, who have lived in the home for 40+ years as its second owners.

Additional amenities include:
• Laundry room with washer and dryer
• Dual-pane windows and wooden mini-blinds
• Central heating & air conditioning
• Lots of storage space, including built-in cabinets and outdoor shed

• Lots of parking available: original driveway + a new second driveway
