House Hunt: Walk To Downtown- It's Entirely Possible!

Added on rooms, updated kitchen ,.. Who wants to throw a party?

The never-ending rain had me convinced we would never find a Walnut Creek home to film. ...

Well the clouds cleared for a short period and we headed over to 140 Lancaster Road which is new to the market. Thank the listing agent Terrylynn Fisher, who provided us a showing last minute.

This  5-bedroom, 3-bath home has three bedrooms and two baths downstairs and a bath upstairs.

There's separation and privacy in bedroom areas, yet room enough for everyone in the common areas. As the family grew, the owners added on a family room which features dramatic high ceilings. And, there is a beautifully
updated kitchen that makes this house perfect for dinners and parties. The living room with the fireplace can easily be transformed into a huge formal dining room for 25 during the holidays. 

When the two rooms upstairs were added it was decided to make them "big"
with his and hers closets and a master bath with everything: storage, double
shower, soaking tub, dual sinks and more. There's a hobby room/office in the
back yard with electricity if you need somewhere for the budding artist or the self-employed home worker.

The neighborhood has that country feel in the Parkmead area of Walnut Creek,
but downtown and Las Lomas High School are just short walks away. The house also boasts super-easy access to Interstate 680. 

The best part about touring this unique home was that we stayed dry while making the video!
