133 Sylvan Rd

Property Overview
Opportunity & Location converge on this rare, level 0.3-acre (12,900 sq. ft.) property in one of Walnut Creek’s most desirable neighborhoods. Tucked away on a quiet street in the highly sought-after unincorporated area with lower property taxes, this classic 1950s rancher offers exceptional potential in an outstanding setting. The home retains authentic mid-century charm with original hardwood floors, a warm brick fireplace, and period details throughout. Its comfortable, functional layout—along with a two-car attached garage and additional storage—makes it ideal to enjoy as-is while planning future improvements. The expansive, flat backyard is the true highlight. The property offers endless possibilities: a private garden retreat, ADU, home expansion, pool, or a custom dream residence. Cherished by the same family for three generations, the home reflects lasting livability and appeal. Properties like this are rarely available. All just minutes from downtown Walnut Creek, Broadway Plaza, BART, premier dining, and top-rated schools. Whether preserved or transformed, this property delivers exceptional space, flexibility, and location. A rare offering in an irreplaceable setting. Concept kitchen and addition plans available.
