A stylish, midcentury modern manse in Walnut Creek, CA, has landed on the market for $1,995,000.

Built in 1958, the five-bedroom, 2,214-square-foot home was designed by architect Karl Kolbeck.

“My clients are only the second owners of the home, and it has been completely renovated with midcentury modern details,” says listing agent Judy Olvera, of Windermere Diablo Realty. “It offers spectacular views of Mount Diablo. It is located off a private lane on 1.5 acres with direct mountain views. It’s just incredible.”

The property last sold in 2012 for $855,000. After less than a week on the market, this chic head-turner is already pending sale.

‘That spectacular view’

“No expense was spared when they redid the home,” Olvera notes. “The living room is all glass, so you get that spectacular view; and it has that midcentury, sleek look as well.”

She says the owners have updated the roof, plumbing, and electrical systems. Plus, they’ve added double-pane windows and a tankless water heater.

In keeping with the midcentury design, the bright and airy home boasts clean lines, an open floor plan, and floor-to-ceiling windows.

Throughout the dwelling, original elements abound—the slate entry with atrium, wood detailing, built-in cabinets, and custom window coverings.

“The solid-wood doors and trim and cabinetry are all original,” Olvera says. “The trellis structure is also original as part of the midcentury modern design. There are skylights throughout the home, as well.”

The kitchen has recently been updated to include “custom cabinetry, Caesarstone counter, and Miele appliances with wood-cabinet facing and Heath tile backsplash,” according to the listing.

The laundry room has concrete counters, and a floating bench.

A primary suite boasts an updated bathroom, a spacious walk-in closet, and access to an outdoor area.

One of the additional four bedrooms features custom, solid-walnut built-ins designed for a home office. A nearby bathroom has also been renovated with double sinks, a soaker tub/shower combo, and rolling shower door.

The beautifully landscaped lot, which includes a covered parking area, offers an open space where a children’s play structure could be built.

“The backyard has an outdoor kitchen that is designed for entertaining,” Olvera says. “I think the next buyer will be someone who really appreciates midcentury architecture and design.”
