Property Description
Welcome to 186 Arlene Drive, nestled in Walnut Creek's treasured Parkmead neighborhood — where community, character and location are second to none. This is not just a home, it's a lifestyle. Sitting on a charming U-shaped street that is flat, walkable and bursting with neighborhood spirit, this beautifully updated ranch home truly embodies the best of California living. With over $200K in recent improvements — including a fully updated kitchen, brand new light oak engineered hardwood floors, all new light fixtures, new appliances and a new HVAC system — nothing left to do but move in and enjoy! The flexible floor plan offers three bedrooms and a bath on one side and a private fourth bedroom with bath on the other, perfect for guests, a home office or multigenerational living. The breathtaking backyard features a sparkling in-ground pool, lush level lawns and a wooden pergola ideal for year-round entertaining. Walk to Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Broadway Plaza, movie theaters and Walnut Creek's best dining. Three top-rated schools — Parkmead Elementary, Tice Creek and Las Lomas High, are all within the neighborhood. And the community? Neighbors gather for an annual block party, chili cook-off and neighborhood garage sale. Arlene Drive is legendary for its Halloween celebrations so don't be surprised when over 300 trick-or-treaters come knocking! This is the community people wait years to get into.
