Description
Morning Glory Cottage, first time on the market in 80 years. Tucked in Walnut Creek's storied Almond/Shuey neighborhood, this 1920s character home has been maintained with meticulous care.
A fully custom kitchen (soapstone counters, hardwood cabinetry, English farm sink) flows into reclaimed tobacco-barn-wood floors, paired with antique fixtures including swing-arm bronze sconces. All three bedrooms live on their own hallway, separate from main living areas. The primary bedroom retains bones of a full bath ready to be restored. A fir staircase leads to a finished attic with new flooring, heat/AC, ideal as studio, office, or guest retreat.
Unlike older homes in this neighborhood requiring significant structural work, this home's bones are sound with no deferred maintenance.
Outside, a heritage oak hosts eagles and owls. A corner-lot bench under a second oak connects you with neighbors. Hand-forged garden gate, grapestake fence, and brick walkway add storybook charm. D3 duplex zoning opens future potential.
Quirky, soulful, one of a kind. Walk to restaurants, parks, BART, and downtown Walnut Creek.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI’m incredibly impressed with this school! We transferred our son from a private school to Parkmead, and we’ve never regretted our decision. The staff is genuinely passionate about their work and is always eager to help. Mr. Burstein, the principal, is a true leader and role model for the children. Every morning, they greet the children with smiles, music, and wishes for a good day. The children feel welcomed and loved at Parkmead.Parent Review2mo ago - Las Lomas High School

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am a current senior, and i do agree that they have great teachers but these years the new generation of students are less academic and therefore many good teachers are leaving and the new teachers are not as good as the old ones, also the % of white and higher income students are lowering this year and the attendance and class engage rate has lowered even more this year, plus the distric barely gives any money to the school but it is pretty much neededStudent Review2mo ago
