500 Monarch Ridge Dr, Walnut Creek, CA 94597

Life Is Beautiful on the Ridge. With access to Springhill Elementary, Stanley Middle School and Acalanes High School, this Summit Ridge townhome offers a coveted Lafayette school path and a location close to the restaurants and shops of both downtown Lafayette and Walnut Creek. Soaring vaulted ceilings and new Andersen windows and sliding doors fill this three bedroom, two and a half bathroom end unit with natural light. Designer lighting and finishes add warmth throughout, while new quartz countertops refresh the kitchen. The primary suite features a fireplace, a generous walk-in closet and an ensuite bath with dual sinks, a spa shower and a separate vanity for getting ready. The beautifully landscaped yard opens to a community path and greenbelt, where children can run and morning and evening walks with the pup become part of the daily rhythm. Raised planter beds offer strawberries, juneberries, chocolate mint, cherry tomatoes and more. Scenic views unfold throughout Summit Ridge, while the pool and clubhouse set the scene for Mahjong nights, fantasy football drafts, watch parties and birthday celebrations. A two car garage adds everyday convenience, complemented by siding replaced in 2023 and a roof replaced in 2025. Parks and hiking trails are nearby, with easy access to BART and Highways 24 and 680. It’s a place to settle in, connect with neighbors and savor the beauty of life on the ridge.
