280 Stevenson Dr

280 Stevenson Drive is a designer’s dream and a rare opportunity in Poets’ Corner, Pleasant Hill’s most coveted neighborhood. Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully curated, this 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom (2,388 sq ft*) residence masterfully blends high-end materials (brand-new white oak hardwood floors, Moroccan Zellige tile and designer light fixtures) with character, soul, and a sophisticated aesthetic. Defined by striking architectural details and design-forward updates, the home offers a masterclass in understated elegance while remaining profoundly warm, tranquil, and inviting. At the heart of the home is a luminous, open-concept great room that seamlessly connects the expansive family area with a grand chef’s kitchen—an ideal hub for after-school snacks, family dinners, and entertaining friends. The kitchen is a culinary sanctuary, anchored by a massive center island, a built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a professional-grade Wolf 6-burner gas range with a grill and double oven. The intuitive layout feels spacious, flows naturally, and provides separation of space. On one wing of the residence, you will find three bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a generous primary suite with abundant closet space and a brand-new (2026), beautifully remodeled luxury bathroom. The opposite wing houses a private guest bedroom and bathroom, perfect for guests, in-laws, or an au pair. Designed for the quintessential California indoor-outdoor lifestyle, both the formal dining room and the family room open directly to a spacious backyard. This outdoor oasis is built for making memories, featuring an expansive patio for alfresco dining, a flat green lawn for children and pets, a relaxing hot tub, and a cozy fire pit for evenings under the stars while making s'mores. The equally impressive front yard offers beautiful, low-maintenance landscaping, a second lush lawn, and a generous wrap-around driveway leading to a two-car garage. Don't miss the double-pane windows throughout, automatic irrigation, organized laundry room, and owned solar.

Beyond the driveway lies an idyllic, storybook community where neighbors wave from their porches, evening dog walks turn into spontaneous chats, and children ride bikes down quiet streets. Families will love the proximity to highly-rated local schools, including Learn and Play Montessori, Pleasant Hill Elementary, and Pleasant Hill Middle School, all located just down the road. For weekend adventures, Pleasant Hill Park, Dinosaur Hill Park, the Aquatic Park, and the scenic Contra Costa Canal Trail are practically at your doorstep. Everyday living here is blissfully simple. Two charming neighborhood shopping centers sit just minutes away in either direction for effortless grocery trips, coffee runs, or dry-cleaning pickups. A short stroll brings you to a diverse local culinary scene featuring everything from Thai and Sushi to Italian and BBQ. For broader outings, the vibrant downtown districts of Pleasant Hill, Lafayette, and Walnut Creek are just minutes away by car. Commuters will appreciate the stress-free connectivity, with a quick ride to the Pleasant Hill BART station offering smooth transit to Oakland, Berkeley, San Francisco, and both Oakland and SFO airports.

This is a home where birthdays are celebrated with backyard BBQs, neighbors become lifelong friends, and everyday life feels special. Welcome home.
