Not just Walnut Creek but, if you have a car to get to BART, anywhere along the line towards Richmond or Concord and beyond. Yes, you'll have a hellish commute, but your options expand. My cousin and her family just got a great deal on a house in Concord.
I agree, though, the odds of finding a house that large in SF are pencil-slim. Most simply weren't built that large. My family grew up in SF - out in the Outer Sunset and Outer Richmond - and all these houses were 2-bedroom. If you haven't already, you may want to check out near SF State and yes, Daly City.
Good luck!!!
