Property Description
Set down a private drive and tucked into a picturesque natural setting, this quintessential Happy Valley home has been renovated throughout and offers easy modern living in a top location. Thoughtful design of the home shows architectural integrity and quality craftsmanship, blending clean finishes with inviting warmth. Wide-plank engineered oak hardwood floors throughout, complemented by designer lighting and vaulted ceilings in the living room create an airy, light-filled atmosphere. The stunning living room is anchored by a dramatic quartz fireplace, providing an elegant focal point for gathering and entertaining as it flows into the lovely dining room. The beautifully appointed kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring striking quartz countertops that continue seamlessly up the backsplash, creating a sleek contemporary aesthetic. A suite of new appliances, —including Bosch oven, microwave, and dishwasher—pairs with abundant cabinetry and generous workspace. Adjacent breakfast room and large family room with a spanning glass door to the back patio provide a perfect layout for comfortable living and entertaining. Overall, the exceptional floor plan offers light and open living spaces that foster connection, along with thoughtfully separated rooms that provide privacy and flexibility. Primary suite features a walk-in closet and sliding glass door to the back patio. Modern bathrooms. Outside, the redesigned grounds are equally impressive. A new concrete driveway leads to an inviting Trex front walkway, while contemporary hog wire fencing enhances the home's welcoming character. The beautifully landscaped yard features a fabulous patio that extends the living space outdoors, offering the perfect setting to entertain or simply unwind in the privacy of the natural surroundings. This private setting offers peaceful views from nearly every room while remaining just minutes from vibrant downtown Lafayette, the Lafayette Reservoir, top-rated Happy Valley School (California Distinguished School 2025) with walking path access, parks, and trails. Enjoy this retreat in one of Lafayette's most coveted neighborhoods!
