One of the most sought-after floor plans at The Mercer! This expanded 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence includes a spacious den and offers approximately 1,400 square feet, per the builder. Compared to the standard 2-bedroom layout, the kitchen, entry, dining, and living areas are noticeably wider—creating an airy, open-concept feel that accommodates both minimalist and maximalist design aesthetics with ease. The owners have recently upgraded the flooring with high-end luxury vinyl plank, replacing all carpeting, except in the bedrooms, to enhance the home’s clean, modern appeal. The kitchen features premium stainless steel appliances, including a SubZero refrigerator and Bosch dishwasher and microwave. A separate laundry room with full-size washer and dryer, plus built-in cabinet storage, adds exceptional convenience. Additional recent updates include fresh interior paint, refurbished grout, and new designer light fixtures in the entry and dining area—contributing to the home's like-new ambiance. Bathed in natural light from its desirable southern exposure, the unit overlooks tree-lined Trinity Avenue and is just steps from the Regional Center for the Arts and vibrant downtown Walnut Creek.
