About This Home

As of January 2022

Very special home on huge nearly an acre lot. This custom home was completely redone in 2015. Top materials, equipment and appliances, raised ceilings, a resort style back yard with stone fireplace, custom bbq island, waterfall, room for everything. This completely renovated slice of heaven is 10 minutes to Walnut Creek, 15 minutes to BART, located on a beautiful private acre (.935 acre), 1 mile from the quaint little town of Clayton. The property is on a highly sought-after street, with only 11 houses, each on one acre, zoned for horses. Features include 7" hand scraped oak flooring nearly throughout, 2 gas interior fireplaces, one exterior stone fireplace, beautifully distressed alder cabinets, LED can lighting, crown mouldings, ceiling fans, remote electric skylights, large master walk-in closet, walk-in pantry, laundry, photovoltaic solar system--(leased)--and an auto gas powered 22K kilowatt generator, an amazing 45' water feature that must be seen to believe. A spectacular home.
