Thoughtfully updated and full of personality, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath Concord ranch pairs distinctive design with easy everyday living. Engineered hardwood floors flow throughout the bright, single-level interior, where curated lighting, a fireplace and unexpected design details give the home a character all its own. The refreshed kitchen features crisp white cabinetry, Heath Ceramics tile, GE Caf appliances, premium lighting and a touch-activated Moen faucet, with a sunny adjacent dining nook. The renovated primary bath is a standout, with radiant-heated floors, Heath Ceramics tile, Hansgrohe fixtures including a rain showerhead, hidden in-wall storage, and a Rejuvenation vanity. Beyond the beautiful finishes, thoughtful improvements include owned solar, central air, a whole-house water filtration system, under-home insulation, solid-core doors, smart lighting, and replaced mainline plumbing. Outside, the level 6,000-square-foot lot was professionally designed by Lush Dry Gardens for low-maintenance California living. Drought-tolerant landscaping creates a welcoming front garden, while the spacious fenced backyard offers a deck, mature trees and multiple areas to gather, garden, play or simply unwind. The central Concord location puts shopping, dining and everyday conveniences close at hand, with easy access to Concord BART, downtown, and Todos Santos Plaza. Stylish without feeling fussy and thoughtfully improved without losing its individuality, 1837 Oakmead is anything but cookie-cutter.
