Open House Saturday May 1st & Sunday May 2nd 1-4PM. Mid-Century Modern Single-Level with Views on Expansive Nearly ½ Acre Lot Discover a rare opportunity in Walnut Creek’s sought-after Linda Vista neighborhood—this classic mid-century modern single-level home offers timeless architecture, mountain views, and exceptional upside potential. Set on an expansive, mostly flat ~0.42-acre lot, the property provides a unique blend of livability today and significant opportunity to renovate, expand, or reimagine. The home features a functional single-level layout with abundant natural light and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. A standout feature is the drive-through garage, offering added flexibility for storage, hobbies, or backyard access—ideal for future enhancements or lifestyle convenience. Beneath the home, a versatile bonus space presents endless possibilities—perfect for a yoga or workout studio, home office, media room, creative studio, or private retreat (he-shed/she-shed). This additional space enhances both functionality and long-term value. The expansive grounds offer room to create your dream outdoor environment—entertaining areas, gardens, pool, ADU potential, or expansion (buyer to verify). The mostly level lot is a rare find in this hillside setting. Ideally located just minutes to downtown Walnut Creek, BART, major freeway access, shopping, dining, and recreation. Zoned for highly regarded Walnut Creek schools, adding to the home’s long-term appeal. This is a livable renovation opportunity with strong equity-building potential, supported by numerous recent higher-priced neighborhood sales—including nearby homes closing around $1.7M+ and beyond .
