About This Home

As of November 2025

Value is in this spectacular land! Perfectly situated at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this flat 1.27-acre lot offers an incredible opportunity to create your dream home in Walnut Creek’s desirable Saranap neighborhood. The single-story rancher retains its original charm and sits surrounded by mature apple, fig, pomegranate, and persimmon trees. The expansive, level grounds provide endless possibilities—remodel the existing home, build a new custom estate with an ADU, design a multigenerational compound, or explore potential subdivision options (Buyers to Verify). A den can serve as a fourth bedroom, offering flexible living space. Enjoy the peaceful, nature-filled setting with a detached three-car garage, an abundance of detached storage sheds that can be used as workshops and historic water tower with well, pump, and pressure tank (unknown if operable). Ideally located just minutes from downtown Walnut Creek—home to world-class shopping, dining, and cafés—and close to top-rated Lafayette schools, Hwy 680, BART, and local airports. Whether you choose to restore its vintage charm or develop the property into something entirely new, this rare flat parcel offers exceptional potential in one of the East Bay’s most coveted neighborhoods.
