Gorgeous, well-maintained Clayton townhome on quiet cul-de-sac in the foothills of Mt. Diablo. After entering the lofty foyer through the front door or the 2-car garage, step past the handy ground floor half bath, down into a spacious living room with impressive fireplace next to the dining room, all with new flooring. The kitchen offers modern appliances and a laundry area behind. Off the living area, you'll find a peaceful, enclosed outdoor patio. Upstairs, you'll find all three bedrooms, or perhaps an office space conversion, as well as both full baths. The primary bedroom features a clerestory window, and a peek-a-boo view of Mt. Diablo to the South, as well as a large ensuite full bath. Central air-conditioning keeps you cool all Summer long. The Chaparral Springs development offers a serene and well-kept neighborhood with access to fenced pool and spa nearby. Downtown commercial area and library just a few blocks away. Many new dual-pane windows, fresh paint, and carpet upstairs. Come and experience the tranquility and contentment of this beautiful corner of Contra Costa County!
