Very Relaxed & Casual Living -2 Bedrooms, 2 Full Baths, Sunroom, Huge Back Yard
Newly renovated country suburban home less than a mile from Lafayette & Walnut Creek border. Clean, comfortable, new paint, carpets and furnished with casual furnishings. The home is comfortable and the neighborhood is very safe and family friendly. Its a large property that backs up to canal and neighborhood walking trail. We are near park, community pool, shopping, and more. It's a 20 minute walk or 5 min drive to two BART stations with everything you need just a few minutes away. Quick commute to Berkeley, Oakland and San Francisco. The nearest beaches are within 35 minute to 50 minute drive. Sierra mountains and Tahoe are reachable in 3.5 hours drive. We just cleared about 8 pine trees so the yard has lots of light. It is more like a private park in the back yard with oak trees, a palm tree and a giant redwood. We regularly see squirrels, falcons, ducks and crows hanging out. The house is away from the street so its very private. Very safe family neighborhood with public pools, trails, wildlife museum and parks within walking distance.

About Ashley
I'm a california native who grew up in this area and have a deep appreciation for the bay area and all it has to offer. If you're visiting from out of town or another country, do not hesitate to ask for guidance about local activities, great day trips, and cultural opportunities in northern california and the san francisco bay area. If I know what you tastes I can suggest things that would be the best fit for you, your family and friends.
Ashley purchased this House in 2015
Why Ashley chose Pleasant Hill
We bought this home because of the land, the house was originally built in the 50's and we have just done alot of upgrades, new carpets, and new sinks, toilets & fixtures in the bathrooms. We spent 3 months clearing the land and transforming the house into what it is today. Currently we have a tiny home at the other end of the property and in the coming years we plan to will build a barn and another full size home to create a family compound. This is a wonderful place that was selected to create our own private paradise and live out our days on the porch with our family and friends. In the meantime we are happy to share it with guests.
What makes this House unique
It's a wonderful peaceful and safe neighborhood. The house is set off the streets with a very private backyard that is over a half acre lot and another tiny home at the other end of the property. It backs up to the canal and walking/biking trail. There are wonderful trails you can take up into the hills, through the neighborhood that go on for miles in each direction as well as a nice park and wildlife museum a few blocks away.

An Amazing Place
Old house but clean
Lovely house in a quiet neighbourhood in Pleasant Hill, CA
Thank you for the nice review. We just completed a new platform deck off of the sun room in the back of the house (approx 10 x 16 ft. ) So there is now plenty of easily accessible outdoor space to be enjoyed. The entire deck is also shaded by a tremendous palm tree so it's a great place to relax throughout the day.
Nice quiet house
The family that owned the home previously for 40+ years had managed with just a single unit, since most of the year the climate here is very mild. Yet there a few weeks a year when it can really get warm. The above guest happened to arrive at a record breaking moment nationally. In fact, they specifically contacted us at the last minute to see if they could arrive early to escape the heat wave from another state on their drive across country. To make sure this is never an issue for our guest going forward, we have upgraded the air conditioning unit that chills the sun room nicely and we are adding an additional unit it the other side of the home to make it more comfortable throughout. This should ensure maximum comfort regardless of the local temperature.
