About This Home
Morning Glory Cottage, first time on the market in 80 years. Tucked in Walnut Creek's storied Almond/Shuey neighborhood, this 1920s character home has been maintained with meticulous care. A fully custom kitchen (soapstone counters, hardwood cabinetry, English farm sink) flows into reclaimed tobacco-barn-wood floors, paired with antique fixtures including swing-arm bronze sconces. All three bedrooms live on their own hallway, separate from main living areas. The primary bedroom retains bones of a full bath ready to be restored. A fir staircase leads to a finished attic with new flooring, heat/AC, ideal as studio, office, or guest retreat. Unlike older homes in this neighborhood requiring significant structural work, this home's bones are sound with no deferred maintenance. Outside, a heritage oak hosts eagles and owls. A corner-lot bench under a second oak connects you with neighbors. Hand-forged garden gate, grapestake fence, and brick walkway add storybook charm. D3 duplex zoning opens future potential. Quirky, soulful, one of a kind. Walk to restaurants, parks, BART, and downtown Walnut Creek.
