Tucked at the end of a court in one of Walnut Creek's most sought-after foothill neighborhoods, this single-story, 4-bedroom, 2-bath home sits where refined living and the lifestyle people actually move to the East Bay for come together. The Twin Ponds Loop Trailhead for Shell Ridge Open Space sits at the end of Whitecliff Way itself, putting 1,400 acres of open space and 31 miles of trails literally at your door. Shell Ridge stretches from the heart of Walnut Creek all the way to the base of Mount Diablo, with hiking, biking, and riding through oak woodlands and open terrain. You don't drive to nature here. Nature is the neighborhood. Rudgear Park is nearby for tennis and pickleball, and Round Hill Golf and Country Club is just minutes away. Downtown Walnut Creek, with its upscale dining, Broadway Plaza shopping, Whole Foods, and the Lesher Center for the Arts, is a short drive west. Interstate 680, Highway 24, and BART are all easily accessible for commuters and remote workers alike. Inside, 2,068 square feet of well-appointed living space features hardwood flooring throughout. No carpet, no visual breaks. Just warm, durable floors that carry a clean aesthetic through every room. The kitchen is the social center of this home. An open layout with a central island creates space to gather and entertain without crowding. The 5-burner gas built-in stove, full stainless steel appliance package, and classic granite countertops matched precisely to the cabinetry give the space a cohesive, intentional look. Built-in oven and microwave keep counters clear. Cabinet storage is generous throughout. Four bedrooms offer flexibility for a home office, gym, or guest suite. Two full bathrooms are well-positioned to serve the layout without bottlenecks. Outside, a private pool anchors the backyard, delivering the kind of outdoor space that earns its keep year-round in the East Bay's mild climate. The court location keeps traffic minimal and privacy high. The neighborhood features wide streets, maintained green belts, trails, and a community pool through a twice-yearly HOA, keeping the surroundings as polished as the home itself.
