An Exceptional Residence at The Mercer — Downtown Walnut Creek’s Premier Luxury Address
Welcome to one of the most coveted and most private residences at The Mercer, where refined design, thoughtful upgrades, and an unbeatable downtown location converge.  This expanded 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence with a bonus area, is among the most sought-after floor plans in the community, offering a noticeably wider and more open layout than standard two-bedroom homes—creating a sense of volume, light, and effortless flow throughout.

Equally rare is the home’s exceptional quiet and privacy. Tucked away from interior corridors and neighboring entryways, this residence is uniquely positioned with no adjacent doors nearby—the closest neighboring unit is well down the hallway and around two corners.  The result is a level of calm and acoustic separation seldom found in condominium living: no hallway traffic, no slamming doors, and no audible comings and goings. It is a genuinely serene environment that feels more like a private residence than a shared building—an understated luxury that experienced buyers immediately recognize and value.

Situated on the first floor as a single-level end unit, the home enjoys a rare and highly desirable orientation. Large windows capture abundant natural light, while the front-facing, tree-lined exposure provides welcome summer shade and a tranquil atmosphere year-round. Step outside to the sun-filled patio, an ideal setting for morning coffee, al fresco dining, or unwinding amid the lush interior landscaping of the community—without the noise typically associated with high-density living.

Inside, the residence has been recently and tastefully upgraded to reflect a clean, modern aesthetic. Wide-plank luxury vinyl flooring anchors the space with warmth and durability, while designer lighting adds a polished, contemporary finish. The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen areas are exceptionally well proportioned—equally suited to minimalist elegance or richly layered furnishings.

The gourmet kitchen is both striking and functional, featuring easy clean wood grain cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a suite of premium stainless-steel appliances, including a Top-tier refrigerator, gas range and oven, dishwasher, and microwave. A generous breakfast bar enhances the home’s entertaining appeal while maintaining seamless connection to the living space.

The primary suite is a true retreat, offering a spacious bedroom, a full bath, and dual closets with custom organizers. The second bedroom is equally well appointed, ideal for guests or family. The den—a signature bonus area feature of this floor plan—provides exceptional flexibility and can function beautifully as a private office, fitness studio, library, or additional sleeping space. A separate laundry room with brand-new full-size washer and dryer and built-in cabinetry adds a level of convenience rarely found in condo living.

Additional highlights include two premium, adjacent parking spaces (#’s 35 & 36) in a secure, gated garage and a large, nearby storage unit (# 113 first floor), making everyday living effortless and organized.

Residents of The Mercer enjoy resort-style amenities that rival the finest luxury communities: a heated lap pool and spa, a 24/7 fitness center, outdoor BBQ and entertaining areas, guest parking, and an elegant community lounge and clubhouse. All of this is set in an exceptionally walkable location (Walk Score 95)—just steps from BART, Lesher Center for the Arts, world-class dining and shopping, and Walnut Creek’s renowned Farmers’ Market.

This is not simply a condo—it is a rare opportunity to own one of The Mercer’s most desirable and most peaceful residences, where privacy, quiet, and refined downtown living coexist seamlessly. For those seeking true luxury without compromise, this home delivers on every level.
