245 Lakewood Road

Nestled on the tranquil shores of a hidden lake in Walnut Creek known as Lake Lakewood, this rare and cherished 3-bedroom, 3-bath home on a 1/3-acre lot is being offered for sale for the first time in almost 50 years. Lovingly maintained by its long-time owners, this residence is more than just a home—it’s a piece of the lake’s history. One of only 16 homes on the lake, it holds the unique distinction of being the only property with private beach access directly from the house, offering unmatched privacy and convenience for lakeside living. While lake access is available only through a private membership, this home comes with an exclusive, deeded membership—ensuring the new owner continued access to all the lake’s recreational benefits. Whether it’s morning coffee with a view on the deck, afternoon swims, or sunset strolls along the shoreline, this home invites you to experience the lake like no other. And with its ideal location just 1.5 miles from vibrant downtown Walnut Creek, you’ll enjoy the perfect balance of peaceful seclusion, easy access to shopping, dining, and cultural attractions, and the added benefit of being within the highly regarded Walnut Creek schools.
