Morning Glory Cottage first time on the market in 80 years. Tucked in Walnut Creek's storied Almond/Shuey neighborhood, a protected pocket of historic bungalows, this 1920s character home blends a fully custom kitchen (soapstone counters, hardwood cabinetry, English farm sink) with reclaimed tobacco-barn-wood floors throughout the common areas and antique fixtures, including swing-arm bronze sconces in the living room. All three bedrooms live on their own hallway, separate from the main living and entertaining areas, and the primary bedroom retains the bones of a full bath ready to be restored. A fir staircase leads up to a finished attic, a sunlit, skylit bonus level with new flooring and heat/AC, ideal as a studio, office, or guest retreat. Outside, a massive heritage oak has hosted Bald Eagles, Great Horned Owls, and Red-Shouldered Hawks, and a corner-lot bench under a second oak offers a sweet spot to pause and connect with neighbors. A hand-forged garden gate, grapestake fence, and brick walkway add to the storybook feel, while D3 duplex zoning opens the door to future potential. Quirky, soulful, and one of a kind. Walk to restaurants, parks, BART, and everything downtown Walnut Creek has to offer.
