Description

A rare opportunity awaits for potential development of up to four units like two duplexes (condos) or four units (condos) all on a single lot in this desirable section of Walnut Creek, offering close proximity to the vibrant downtown shops and restaurants, BART, and convenient access to freeways 24 & 680. Desirable Walnut Creek school district. The charming 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom cottage boasts a well-equipped kitchen with a gas stove, a cozy living room featuring a vaulted wood beam ceiling, ample built-in cabinets, hardwood floors, a bathroom with a tub and tile enclosure, and a single-car garage with laundry facilities. A delightful enclosed porch in the backyard, accessible from the dining area, creates a perfect space for relaxation and entertaining.

    "Lots of people walk their dogs in neighborhoods. A handful of nice dog parks. Handful of open spaces with specific areas you can let your dog off leash. Unfortunately not everyone respects this rule so I’ve seen awful situations where some dogs are on leash and some are not. The dogs on leash are threatened because they’re leashed and bad situations arise. Also, many people don’t clean up after their dogs. Disrespectful and entitled people exist. This area is not immune to that. "
