On a pancake flat, massive .31 acre lot
The placement of this home on this particular street is optimum: this end of Wiget is quiet and tree-lined. The sidewalks here allow for easy bike-riding & walks and everyone here is always out and about: super active & healthy: bikers, and walkers and runners and kids on scooters on every street, constantly. The kids walk to school together, just a couple of blocks away: something that is a rarity in life now, and feels like a throwback to 1950, in place here on Wiget Lane.
The 60’s, (when this home was built) saw a surge in split level homes- it was a way to maximize the size of the home on the lot, without using a lot of lot space up, and without having just 1 long stairway to the top floor. This home is a great reflection of an excellent split level home: with three different levels of living spaces, all with wonderful views of the backyard, natural light, and abundant space within. The main floor offers a great open floor plan: with a beautiful cream kitchen opening to a formal dining & family room, and a dining nook tucked away just off the kitchen. Two living spaces mean you can be entertaining multiple parties separately, with ease. The downstairs living area offers a living room, office & half back: this space could easily be converted to be an in-law or au pair area if you converted the office into a small kitchen.
The primary bedroom is an oasis of calm, with a view of Mt Diablo from the windows, ensuite spa-like bath, which was recently completely renovated with new tile, vanity, shower & brushed brass fixtures.
Stunning new tile in two bathrooms and the kitchen floor offers a feast for your eyes. Brand new light fixtures from Walnut Creek Lighting Co illuminate each area perfectly. The upstairs hallway bath has a thoughtful skylight placed in the center of the bathroom, which means you don’t even need to turn on the light at any point in the day.
Hardwood floors throughout the home have just been recently refinished: all the bedrooms, entry, family & dining rooms look elegant & polished.
The backyard is quite possibly the highlight of the property: nearly a third of an acre, with the home set fairly far forward: the yard is flat with mature trees around the perimeter, a wonderful lawn area in the center, and a great large deck off the dining area, perfect for outdoor dining 9 months out of the year here in CA. If one wanted to put in a pool here, you definitely could, with plenty of space to spare. The view of Mt Diablo is also evident from the backyard/deck and the sunset reflecting on the mountain is a blissful view you can enjoy every evening.
Location wise: what are you close to? The trail for one- you can hop on the trail to get to Shell Ridge open space just 1 block from the house. As far as shopping: the Orchards, Encina Grande & Countrywood Shopping Centers are all within 2 miles away. Downtown Walnut Creek & BART? Both just 3.9 miles away….so you get the quiet of living in the suburbs, with the ease and convenience of being able to hop to where you want to go in just a few minutes. Dreamy!!
