Property Description
Welcome to 1540 Encanto Place, a single-level 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch-style home with mid-century character, set near the end of a cul-de-sac in Walnut Creek’s Palos Verdes neighborhood. Positioned on an approximately 10,350-square-foot lot, the home offers abundant natural light, sweeping East Bay views, multiple outdoor living areas, and an easy single-story layout. Step through the French-door entry beneath a vaulted ceiling with a large skylight and exposed wood beam. A long sightline draws your eye through the home toward the distant hills, while new flooring and generous windows create a bright, welcoming feel. The living room features recessed lighting, fireplace, double-pane windows, and broad sliding glass doors opening to the rear view deck. The adjoining dining room shares the scenic backdrop, with large windows capturing views toward Mount Diablo. The kitchen includes extensive wood cabinetry, marble countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gas range, pantry storage, and peninsula seating. French doors provide direct access to the backyard, creating an easy indoor-outdoor connection. Three bedrooms and two full bathrooms complete the practical single-level floor plan. The front-facing primary bedroom offers a generous closet and good natural light, while the secondary bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, a home office, or creative space. Longtime pride of ownership is evident throughout, with the sellers having thoughtfully maintained and updated the home over the years. Outside, the approximately quarter-acre setting offers multiple places to relax, entertain, garden, and enjoy the views. Deck and patio areas create distinct outdoor living zones, while a largely level central portion of the yard adds usable space. Mature landscaping includes fig and citrus trees, established grapevines, sculpted plantings, and other greenery. Enjoy convenient access to downtown Walnut Creek, Lunardi’s and the Palos Verdes Shopping Center, BART, Larkey Park, the Contra Costa Canal Regional Trail, Walnut Creek open space and hiking, downtown Lafayette, Highway 680, and Highway 24. The location offers an appealing balance of neighborhood setting, everyday conveniences, outdoor recreation, dining, shopping, and regional transportation. Located within Mt. Diablo Unified School District. Buyer to verify schools, boundaries, square footage, lot size, and all property information.
