Charming Single‑Story Ranch on a Large Walnut Creek Lot
This well‑maintained, single‑story ranch presents a rare combination in Walnut Creek: comfortable, usable interior space and an unusually generous, level 9,016 sq ft lot — all on a quiet cul‑de‑sac. Inside, the home’s logical floor plan flows from an inviting living room into an open dining area and kitchen. The primary suite includes two large closets and a private bath, and two additional bedrooms and a second full bath complete the single‑level layout. Mixed flooring of wood, tile and carpet provides a warm, lived‑in character while leaving room for tasteful updates.
The outdoor spaces are the property’s standout feature. A covered rear patio creates a sheltered entertaining area that overlooks a substantial backyard — ideal for gardening, a play area, or weekend barbecues. Mature shade trees and well‑kept landscaping enhance privacy and curb appeal. The home includes an attached two‑car garage with laundry hookups and a driveway offering additional parking.
Location is exceptionally convenient: tucked into a quiet residential pocket but only minutes from downtown Walnut Creek’s restaurants, shops and Broadway Plaza. Heather Farm and neighborhood parks, trails and commuter links (including nearby BART) are easily accessible. The property is a strong fit for buyers seeking single‑level living, space for outdoor projects, or a yard large enough for future expansion or an accessory dwelling (subject to permitting).
Thoughtfully priced at $1,379,000 and offered by Square One Real Estate, this ranch delivers both everyday comfort and long‑term optionality. Contact listing agent Thomas Kerrins at 925‑575‑4455 or startatsquare1@gmail.com for a private showing and neighborhood walkthrough.

A factual market snapshot around 32 Lancaster Ct.
Walnut Creek remains one of the East Bay’s most resilient suburban markets. As of early 2026, inventory is limited for single‑family homes in central Walnut Creek and demand is steady from downsizers, families, and commuters seeking close‑in access to BART and downtown amenities. Median single‑family sale prices in the immediate area typically range around the low‑to‑mid $1M mark; high‑quality ranch product on large lots can command premiums. Days on market have tightened compared to prior years, and well‑priced, move‑in‑ready homes often receive attention quickly. For buyers, this property offers a balanced entry with upside via modest renovations or future lot enhancements; for sellers, the location and lot size support competitive offers in today’s market.
