Welcome to 1540 Encanto Place, a single-level 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch-style home with mid-century character, set near the end of a cul-de-sac in Walnut Creek's Palos Verdes neighborhood.

Step through the French-door entry beneath a vaulted ceiling with a large skylight and exposed wood beam. A long sightline draws your eye through the home toward the distant hills, while new flooring and generous windows create a bright, welcoming feel.

Outside, the approximately quarter-acre setting offers multiple places to relax, entertain, garden, and enjoy the views. Deck and patio areas create distinct outdoor living zones, while a largely level central portion of the yard adds usable space.
