A charming two-story townhouse in Clayton’s sought-after Chaparral Springs. With 3 beds, 2.5 baths and 1,367 sq ft, it’s designed for easy living. Enjoy a tranquil setting just minutes from Oakhurst Country Club, scenic trails and downtown Clayton. A marble-tiled entry opens to a bright living and dining area where sunlight and a two-way marble-tiled fireplace create inviting warmth. Sleek, high-quality laminate flooring connects the spaces and a sliding door leads to a low-maintenance yard with redwood decking, a retractable Sunsetter awning, and a stone patio overlooking the Oakhurst golf course and Mt. Diablo State Park for sunsets. The kitchen offers tiled floors, updated appliances, and a breakfast bar, with laundry and a half bath nearby. Upstairs, high-quality durable carpet spans an airy mezzanine landing. The primary suite features diamond-peaked vaulted ceilings, a mirrored closet, and an ensuite with dual vanities, while two additional bedrooms share a hall bath. The attached garage includes built-in shelving, a workbench, and loft storage. Recent updates include a premium HVAC system, water heater, and Andersen thermally protected west-facing windows. Chaparral Springs residents enjoy a pool, greenbelts and maintenance. Close to downtown restaurants, shops, and trails
