About This Home

As of August 2019

Sparkling clean with fresh interior paint, crown molding and new wood-like floors in the entry, kitchen and bathroom; it is bright and sunny and a pleasure to show! There's newer Berber carpeting in the bedroom and living room and the balcony overlooks a quiet courtyard with a bubbling fountain. The kitchen has new stainless steel sink and faucet, granite counters and plenty of storage. A full sized W/D is included. Steps from downtown Walnut Creek and next to a 2-acre park and with excellent public schools the location is the best. Montecito is a well-maintained building circa 2001 with a full time Concierge Monday through Friday! To see is to love! Open House Sunday, 6/23/19 from 1-4pm.
