Condition Rating
Good

This property, originally built in 1950, underwent a significant 'rebuild and expansion' approximately 20 years ago. While the renovation date (20 years ago) falls at the upper end of the 'Good' category's renovation timeframe, the description highlights high-quality features such as a chef's kitchen with sleek Italian cabinetry, a six-burner range, and Sub-Zero refrigeration, along with triple-pane Pella windows and owned solar panels. The images confirm a well-maintained, move-in ready home with modern aesthetics, particularly in the kitchen. The bathrooms, while perhaps not ultra-modern, are clean and functional. The overall condition suggests minimal wear and tear, with major systems likely updated during the rebuild and functioning well, making it a solid 'Good' despite the age of the extensive renovation.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Expansive & Versatile Living Space: Over 5,100 sqft with 5 beds, 5 baths, two primary suites (one on each floor), and a spacious bonus room, perfectly suited for multi-generational living, entertaining, and work-from-home needs.
Premium Location & Accessibility: Strategically located minutes from downtown Walnut Creek, BART, top-rated schools, and major commuter routes, offering unparalleled convenience.
Breathtaking Panoramic Views: Features four wraparound balconies providing sweeping vistas of Mount Diablo, creating an exceptional indoor-outdoor living experience.
Modern Luxury & Energy Efficiency: Extensively rebuilt and expanded 20 years ago, boasting a chef's kitchen with Italian cabinetry and Sub-Zero appliances, triple-pane Pella windows, and owned solar panels for comfort and efficiency.
Exclusive Community Amenities with Low Dues: Access to a community pool with remarkably low HOA dues of just $35, adding value without significant ongoing cost.

Cons

Original Construction Year (1950): Despite a substantial rebuild and expansion approximately 20 years ago, the original 1950 construction year might raise questions for some buyers regarding the age of foundational elements or systems not explicitly covered by the recent updates.
Limited Traditional Private Yard: While the lot is generous (18,000 sqft) and offers impressive balconies, the description emphasizes views rather than a large, flat, and easily accessible private yard or garden, which some buyers may desire for recreation or pets.
High Ongoing Ownership Costs: As a large, luxury estate of over 5,100 sqft, potential buyers should anticipate significant property taxes and higher general maintenance/utility costs (beyond electricity, despite solar) associated with a property of this size and caliber.
