Property Description
Experience a home with the feeling of a Tahoe mountain retreat without leaving Walnut Creek. Nestled among majestic oak trees at the end of a private, tree-lined road, this exceptional South Walnut Creek home offers a rare blend of peaceful country living and everyday convenience. Set on a beautiful half-acre (21,780 sq. ft.) lot in the highly desirable Tice Valley area, the property offers exceptional privacy, beautiful wooded and hillside views, and a setting unlike anything else in the neighborhood. Inside, the approximately 3,131-square-foot home is filled with natural light and features soaring A-frame ceilings, dramatic wood beams, expansive windows, and warm natural finishes that create an inviting treehouse-like atmosphere. The flexible floor plan includes four bedrooms and three and one-half bathrooms, including a convenient first-floor bedroom and a spacious private primary suite with an updated bathroom and generous walk-in closet. The updated center-island kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gas cooktop, breakfast bar seating, and opens seamlessly to the family room and expansive rear deck, creating an ideal setting for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. Multiple decks and outdoor living spaces invite you to relax among the trees while enjoying the peaceful natural surroundings. The expansive half-acre property offers space, privacy, and flexibility, making it ideal for those seeking room to grow, entertain, or simply enjoy nature. While the setting feels like a private escape, you're just minutes from downtown Walnut Creek, Broadway Plaza, top-rated Walnut Creek schools, parks, hiking trails, dining, shopping, BART, and convenient freeway access. Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat, a home designed for entertaining, or simply a setting unlike anything else in Walnut Creek, this is a rare opportunity to own one of Tice Valley's most distinctive properties - offering the perfect balance of serenity, character, and everyday convenience.
