Welcome to 1409 Walden Road, a beautifully remodeled home on an exceptional 34,000± square foot level corner lot offering a rare combination of luxury living and future potential. Based on the completed survey, a conceptual SB-9 lot split and tentative parcel map were prepared illustrating two options that preserve the existing home (buyer to verify all development opportunities with the City). Thoughtfully renovated from top to bottom, this move-in-ready home offers a flexible floor plan with four bedrooms, or three bedrooms plus an office, and 3.5 beautifully appointed bathrooms. Light-filled living spaces, a stunning chef’s kitchen with high-end finishes, and designer bathrooms create a seamless blend of style, comfort, and functionality. The private backyard is an ideal retreat, featuring a sparkling pool, expansive entertaining areas, mature landscaping, and a working well that supplies landscape irrigation. Two detached workshop/storage buildings provide exceptional flexibility for hobbies, a home gym, studio, or additional storage. A new owned solar energy system with battery backup enhances energy efficiency while providing long-term savings and peace of mind. Ideally located in one of Walnut Creek’s most desirable neighborhoods, the home is just minutes from BART, premier shopping, dining, parks, major commute routes, and highly regarded schools. Properties that combine a fully renovated home with a level lot of this size, flexible outbuildings, and documented SB-9 lot split exploration are exceptionally rare, offering both an outstanding place to live today and exciting possibilities for the future.
