About This Home

As of October 2023

Location, Location, Location! Set at the end of one of Walnut Heights favorite streets, this city close country feel, single story rancher is convenient to downtown WC, schools, parks and swim clubs and freeways. Over the years the kitchen and bathrooms have been remodeled and a family room added. The spacious primary suite includes a large bathroom and walk-in closet as well as a fireplace and access to the backyard. A guest suite could serve as a terrific home office. The backyard is wonderful with mature landscaping and ample space limited only by your imagination! Great private side yard, ample work space or off-street parking with gates to allow drive through and very nice newer shed for extra storage.
