Very private comfortable cottage-style home with plenty of space.
Ideal base for exploring the San Francisco Bay Area. Walk downtown to Walnut creek with its great restaurants, world class shopping (Tiffany's, Apple, Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, Macy's), easy access to BART trains (Bay Area Rapid Transit), major freeways, and Oakland and SFO airports.

Walk downtown to Walnut Creek with its great restaurants, world class shopping (Tiffany's, Apple, Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, Macy's), easy access to BART trains (Bay Area Rapid Transit), major freeways, and Oakland and SFO airports. Walnut Creek is 45 minutes from San Francisco, 3 hours from the Sierra Nevada (Tahoe, Sugar Bowl, Squaw Valley), 2 hours from Sacramento and gold country, 1 hour from Santa Cruz - say no more .

We are a fairly normal English speaking middle class family. Professionally - a scientist and a financial analyst. We have a small daughter and two cats. We feed the local birds ( at least 30 different spcies cometothe feeders including hummingbirds and woodpeckers) and revel i nthe wild nature of our 1.5 acres of mixed hillside and flatland with stunning views over the city and of nearby mount Diablo (3800 feet). The property hs over 100 trees and many charming features. One can take a short hike right here at home. hous is not on the street but set back in the hills behindthe other houses. Neighbors can not be seen or heard! Total privacy. One can skinny dip with impunity.
