Property Description

Less than half a mile from downtown Lafayette, this thoughtfully remodeled home occupies an elevated setting with sweeping views across the valley and surrounding hills. Tucked into a peaceful hillside among mature oaks, it offers a sense of retreat while remaining just minutes from Lafayette’s vibrant restaurants, shops, BART, and highly regarded schools.

A welcoming entry foyer includes a custom wine cabinet and walk-in coat closet. Just upstairs, behind a barn-style door, an oversized family room offers space for both play and relaxation, complete with a climbing wall, basketball hoop, and blackboard wall.

The heart of the home is an inviting great room where the kitchen, dining area, and living room come together around an oversized quartz island with abundant custom cabinetry throughout. Vaulted ceilings and large windows fill the space with natural light, while the adjoining porch, shaded by majestic California oaks, extends the living area outdoors for dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the views. The open-concept dining area comfortably seats ten.

The upper-level features four bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with vaulted ceilings, a sitting area, two walk-in closets plus two additional closets, a glass-wall walk-in shower, breathtaking Lafayette hillside views, and a private porch for year-round enjoyment. A conveniently located laundry area and abundant storage enhance everyday living. The whimsical bedroom off the primary, with two points of entry, suits children of any age. All bedrooms include closet built-ins, outdoor access, and large windows that bring in natural light while maintaining privacy.

The newly created outdoor retreat off the back porch, accessible from three bedrooms, offers a level grass lawn, wraparound stairs to the front yard, a tranquil seating area, and the home’s most expansive views of the surrounding landscape.

On the lower level, a private guest suite with its own entrance and en-suite bathroom provides excellent flexibility for visitors, extended family, or a secluded home office.

A two-car garage with additional storage completes the home. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate that a short ten-minute walk up the hill leads to Lafayette Reservoir trails and some of the East Bay’s best open space. Combining privacy, modern updates, and an unbeatable location, this home captures the very best of downtown Lafayette living.
