About 171 Greenway Drive

The Best of Downtown Walnut Creek

171 Greenway Drive is a lovingly updated home nestled in the heart of one of Walnut Creek’s most sought after neighborhoods. You can't get any better than this fabulous location for downtown Walnut Creek living. There is a reason why Greenway Drive sees almost no turnover, and this wonderful home is a prime example. First time on market in almost 20 years, 171 Greenway Dr is located on a "horseshoe" meaning you have virtually zero through traffic. Pancake flat neighborhood makes for easy ambling to downtown less than a mile away!

This 4 bedroom, 2 bath home features 2259 SF, a 0.21 acre lot, a gorgeous farmhouse kitchen, and hundreds of thousands of dollars of upgrades over the past 19 years. 40 year roof, updated windows, tankless water heater, newer sewer lateral, and a long list of Seller improvements all combine to ensure that this turn-key home will take care of you for decades to come.

171 Greenway is an absolutely charming home showing pride of ownership with every lovingly maintained detail. The gorgeous farmhouse kitchen boasts tons of cabinet space, a walk-in pantry, stainless steel appliances, Farrow & Ball paint, and beautiful backyard views. Executive details abound throughout the home in the built in cabinets, gorgeous bathrooms, recessed lighting, modern fans, gleaming real hardwood flooring, central heat & air conditioning, whole house fan, and excellent floor plan. Four roomy bedrooms give plenty of options whether you need to work from home or accommodate guests, and both bathrooms wow with meticulous updating. Love a crackling fire? This home actually features two different wood burning fireplaces.

You will love this private and fully enclosed backyard with large patio, two mature orange trees, and fantastic large covered porch for a wonderful outdoor living space 365 days a year. The back porch also provides easy access to both the garage and the rear Bonus Room, which is just begging to be a workout room, craft room, or office. This enormous 9215 SF lot offers a welcoming charm that will fulfill all your needs whether it be gardening, relaxing, or playing with family. Worried about drought? All of the landscaping is very low maintenance.

The excellent location at 171 Greenway Dr is just around the corner from the Iron Horse Trail, Broadway Plaza, Safeway, Civic Park, Indian Valley Elementary, Walnut Creek Intermediate, dozens of fine restaurants, B.A.R.T. and 680/24 for easy freeway access to the whole Bay Area. Ideally suited to homeowners who want a wonderful secluded home, excellent schools (Acalanes Union is a "Choice" district offering options for Las Lomas, Acalanes, Miramonte, or Campolindo for High School), or a commuting and shopping dream location.
