The story
Perched at the top of a private drive, 20 Surmont Ct has sweeping 180° views of Mt. Diablo and the glittering lights of downtown Walnut Creek and Pleasant Hill. A large front porch welcomes you home and frames the mountain views. Inside, soaring ceilings in the entry and living room create a dramatic first impression. A formal dining room sets the stage for gatherings, while the open-concept family room and eat-in kitchen are the true heart of the home. The kitchen is a showpiece, with a large island, gas cooktop, prep sink, walls of storage and a 300-bottle wine refrigerator, all wrapped in a rich deep blue-grey palette. Step out to a private deck off the kitchen, where a waterfall and pond create your own tranquil escape. The sellers completed a $500,000+ remodel, adding new flooring, renovated bathrooms and kitchens, and all-new fixtures, faucets and hardware throughout. The main home has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms across two levels. An attached ADU with interior and exterior access has a full kitchen, formal dining room, separate living room, spacious bedroom, full bath and storage. It’s perfect for multigenerational living, guests or a private office suite. Four outdoor spaces include the front porch, two back decks and the waterfall deck. The 4-car garage is a rarity in Lamorinda. Owned solar, top-rated Lafayette schools, including Acalanes High, and minutes to downtown Lafayette, BART, Hwy 24 and trails.
