Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1973 (51 years old), the property features a dated 'retro' galley kitchen and original-style bathroom fixtures. While the home is well-maintained and functional, the popcorn ceilings and older finishes indicate it has not had a major renovation in over 20 years, placing it in the Fair category needing cosmetic and system updates.
High School: Northgate High School (9/10).
Situated in a highly desirable Walnut Creek neighborhood, the property offers access to top-rated schools including Northgate High and Foothill Middle, significantly bolstering its long-term investment value.
The home features a private fenced patio with mature fruit trees and a primary suite balcony, providing a rare level of tranquil outdoor living space within a park-like community setting.
The presence of retro tiling and original 1970s character suggests the home requires a budget for updates to meet modern aesthetic standards and buyer expectations.
The monthly association fee of $512 represents a significant recurring carrying cost that may impact the overall affordability and debt-to-income ratio for some buyers.
Sheltered beneath a canopy of towering shade trees, this 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhome sits within one of the area's most calming and park-like communities, the kind of place where you exhale the moment you arrive. Inside, the split-level layout invites you to make it your own. A cozy fireplace anchors the living room, while a striking diagonal wood accent wall adds warmth and personality. Sliding glass doors blur the line between indoors and out, flooding the space with natural light and leafy views. The galley kitchen features abundant cabinetry and a bold retro tile backsplash that leans into the home's inherent character. A convenient half bath is tucked downstairs for guests. Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms offer room to breathe and grow. The primary suite includes a private balcony, ensuite bath, and walk-in shower. A second full bath serves the additional bedroom. Outside, a private fenced patio shaded by a lemon tree and mature fruit trees creates a quiet sanctuary, ideal for morning coffee or weekend gatherings with friends.
