About This Home

As of November 2025

Charming Saranap Living Near Downtown Walnut Creek Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac in this coveted pocket, 171 Sequoia Avenue blends comfort, charm, and convenience in one delightful package. This single-story home offers three bedrooms and two baths across 1,164± square feet, thoughtfully updated for today’s lifestyle. The heart of the home is an inviting kitchen with granite countertops and warm wood cabinetry, opening to a light-filled living and dining area that flows seamlessly to the backyard. The primary suite features an updated bathroom and a calming retreat feel, while the entire home enjoys the benefit of new interior paint. Out back, a charming pergola creates the perfect setting for outdoor dining or morning coffee, with just the right balance of grassy play space and garden beds for a weekend hobby. The converted two-car garage—now a music studio with soundproofing on the shared interior wall—adds approximately 276 square feet of living space and offers versatile options for a bonus room, playroom, guest quarters, or creative space. Around the corner from Dewing Park Swim Club and all the dining, shopping, and entertainment that downtown Walnut Creek has to offer, this home captures the best of Walnut Creek living in a peaceful, community-minded setting.
