As you step inside, you are greeted by a seamless open floor plan bathed in natural light, anchored by soaring vaulted ceilings and elegant wainscoting in the family room that adds a sophisticated, custom touch. Brand-new engineered hardwood floors flow throughout the entire home, creating a cohesive and modern feel. The heart of the residence features a beautifully updated kitchen and stylishly renovated bathrooms complete with brand-new vanities and high-end finishes. The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring an oversized bedroom with a large walk-in closet and a primary bathroom equipped with a relaxing jacuzzi tub. The indoor-outdoor flow is truly effortless, with the massive, expansive deck accessible from both the family room and the primary bedroom. This deck offers multiple distinct seating areas for lounging, outdoor dining, or relaxation in total peace.

On the opposite side of the home, you’ll find an additional large tiled patio area with direct access from the kitchen, offering the perfect setup for cooking outdoors and hosting guests. The lot extends further up the hill, offering elevated views, even more private space, and incredible potential for a future ADU, a custom garden, or a hillside retreat. The oversized garage is another standout feature, boasting pristine epoxy floors and a built-in Tesla charger for your convenience. Situated within the boundaries of top-rated schools, this residence offers the quiet, tucked-away lifestyle of a secluded retreat without sacrificing proximity to the world-class shopping, dining, and vibrant energy of downtown Walnut Creek. This is a rare opportunity to own a turnkey home that offers an unparalleled amount of flexibility for your lifestyle in one of Walnut Creek’s most sought-after pockets.

Redfin agents who toured
This house felt bigger than it looked.
The layout was interesting. The house felt long without ever feeling narrow, and the spaces flowed together really well as I walked through it.
Being on a corner lot added to the sense of openness, while the...
landscaping and positioning of the home still managed to create a surprising amount of privacy.
The finishes had been partially updated, but everything still felt current and cohesive. It didn’t feel like a house caught between two eras.
Somerset, located between Ygnacio Valley Road and Treat Boulevard, is a residential and suburban Walnut Creek neighborhood with a low-slung ranch-home streetscape and a greenbelt feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Ygnacio Valley Road corridor near Walnut Boulevard, where coffee counters, local lunch spots, and everyday services set a steady, lived-in rhythm. Nearby, Heather Farm Park and the Ruth Bancroft Garden & Nursery read as the area’s outdoor living room, with broad lawns and sculptural plantings. Streets tend toward mid-century lines, mature trees, and tidy front gardens. Canal Trail segments add a linear, bike-friendly thread through the landscape.
