250 Normandy Lane, Walnut Creek
Nestled on a generous .40-acre lot, this split-level gem offers a unique blend of history and modern luxury. The charming farmhouse, believed to be the original home from 1941 when the E.A. Smith estate was subdivided, exudes character and warmth. Boasting 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms across 2,987± square feet, this residence is a testament to thoughtful design and meticulous upkeep. The main house has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms with hardwood flooring, a formal dining room and living room, a new kitchen and an updated primary bathroom. A separate addition above the garage with 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom and a living room presents an opportunity for versatility—a perfect space for an in-law suite, au pair quarters, or a rental. The home is an ideal blend of vintage details and modern amenities such as dual pane windows, solar panels, and a 220v outlet for car charger. Situated on a flat .40 acre lot, a gorgeous pool beckons on warm days, while a large deck with a gazebo and outdoor kitchen sets the stage for al fresco gatherings. The poolside ambiance is enhanced by an ivy-graced portico, a decorative outdoor fireplace, and two vintage changing rooms/bathrooms that could be restored to their former glory. The property offers more than just a living space; it presents an opportunity for expansion with room for RV parking and the potential to add additional square footage. For those seeking educational convenience, a neighborhood path leads to De La Salle and Carondelet High Schools. Welcome home!
