A house in Walnut Creek is being listed on real estate website Redfin for $850,000 after two house fires gutted the East Bay suburb property.

An online posting has listed a charred Walnut Creek home on sale for $850,000, according to Redfin.com.



The two-story, four-bedroom house was nearly a complete loss when a fire ripped through the garage and part of the roof on Sept. 11.
