Mount Diablo Views and Paid-Off Solar in Shadow Lakes

A four-bedroom Shadow Lakes home on a quiet cul-de-sac — about 2,400 square feet, sunken dining, downstairs bedroom option, paid-off solar, and primary-suite views toward Mount Diablo and the golf course.

Published August 7, 2026 · 6 min read

Views are easy to promise in listing copy. This tour spends real time on what you actually see from the primary side: Mount Diablo, rolling hills, Heritage High lights in the distance, and golf-course green off to the side — with sunsets as the nightly feature when the weather cooperates.

The home is in Brentwood's Shadow Lakes community: about 2,400 square feet, four bedrooms, on a long quiet cul-de-sac with no front neighbors and extra parking on the court. Solar is called out as fully paid for on camera — confirm current ownership and transfer details in the disclosures, but that's the framing of the tour.

A floor plan with levels on purpose

Step-up entry into a front living room with in-floor power. Sunken dining with tall windows and strong airflow. Kitchen with butler's pantry, wraparound counters, gas cooktop, and bar seating under dramatic ceiling height. Main living drops again to a gas fireplace and entertainment wall — then a downstairs bedroom adjacent to a full bath for separation without a formal ADU.

Upstairs: laundry with folding counter, secondary bedrooms, shared bath, and a primary positioned for those Diablo / hill views. Garage is a finished two-car with deep bonus storage platform (water heater and softener gear live there) plus attic access.

Backyard and community

North-facing front means afternoon sun in the back — concrete entertaining space, room for garden or a shade structure if you want it. Shadow Lakes itself is the larger amenity: roughly 800 homes in the hills, golf, and the Brentwood location stack (Vasco toward Livermore, Balfour toward Highway 4, Discovery Bay close for water). More context in living in Brentwood.

Who this fits

Buyers who will trade for view corridor and cul-de-sac calm, want solar already handled, and like a multi-level plan with a downstairs bedroom option. Still deciding on a community?
