Turnkey homes with endless potential are quickly becoming a thing of the past.  But here it is, and only minutes from town centers and transit!  A full three acres of gently sloped, pastoral land surrounds this home, situated on a breezy rise above oaks and creek.  Perfectly oriented for southern light with lovely views that could easily be opened even further.

Zoom in a little closer, and you'll find a landscaped outdoor living area surrounding the home.  An expansive deck among the trees, a sunny pool party area, a rolling lawn, and two shaded arbors create indoor-outdoor flow. A two-car garage and parking terrace for easy access.

The home itself is a model of effortless flow centered around the kitchen/dining room with skylights and cozy fireplace.  A passthrough bar and powder room lead to a grand, classic Mid-Century family room, with a towering stone fireplace offering a sandstone seating bench, avant garde chandelier and a deck with tree-framed views to the valley and beyond.  There is also a more intimate living room with a third fireplace and expansive views through the large picture window. Hardwood floors and new carpet lend warmth and freshness to every space, while copious windows bring the outdoors in and drench the spaces in sunlight.

Tucked to the west is the quiet bedroom wing. A guest room/office and bathroom begin this area, followed by another two conjoined bedrooms with private pool-area access.  A large primary suite, paneled in redwood with glorious morning light, has a cedar-lined walk-in closet and bathroom with skylight and spa tub. Just outside the sliding glass door is a private shaded sitting arbor.

Don't miss the hand-built log cabin, free-standing aviary and owl perch, covered backyard storage complete with solar panels that heat the pool, irrigated raised vegetable beds, small pool house and tiny garden-gauge railroad to boot!

Move right in and dream big!

Neighborhood

Low on density and high on greenery, Lafayette offers rolling hillsides, excellent schools, and an easy commute to Oakland and San Francisco thanks to the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station in the town center.  The Reliez Valley area features meandering country roads and showplace estate homes perched on large hillside parcels that offer panoramic views of the valley.  Mid-Century gems are especially coveted for their clean lines and the open views.  Renowned Acalanes High School and Springhill Elementary School are minutes away.  

Lafayette’s central business district offers quality shopping and dining for locals and visitors alike. Restaurants such as Artisan Bistro, Chevalier, and Metro Lafayette are thriving. For those seeking old-fashioned comfort food, Millie’s Kitchen is a popular breakfast and brunch restaurant with large portions and modest prices.  Lafayette Reservoir is open year-round for boating, fishing, picnicking, and hiking. After a long day on the water, locals head to The Roundup Saloon, a throwback to the days of rowdy roadhouses.
