About this House

A Home built for flexible living. A 3-bedroom 2 bath 1,600 sqft home above with a separate 1 bedroom 1 bath 820 sqft lower floor with its own kitchen and entrance. Perfect for mutigenerational living! Set up the in-laws, kids returning home, or just live large. A true entertainer's delight. The main home’s updated kitchen with shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, and a large center island with seating for four flows naturally into the dining room and right out onto the view deck for effortless al fresco dining. At sunrise, sunset, or anywhere in between, the hills stretching out before you will make in front of you, that deck becomes your favorite spot fast. The vaulted living room with warm wood beams, a dramatic skylight, and a floor to ceiling fireplace is the kind of space that stops people mid-tour. The primary en-suite is generous and bright with a window framing those same valley views from above. Step down to the backyard onto a level no-mow lawn framed by mature trees, an iron fence, and sweeping valley views that follow you everywhere on this property. Tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac, minutes to downtown Lafayette, Walnut Creek, top rated schools, BART, and trails. One great view. Ideal location. A home with endless possibilities.

    "My neighbourhood has awful access to public transport. I don’t have a car at the moment. If I want to go into town it’s an hour & 20min walk both ways. It keeps me fit, I guess. We just moved here from Chicago, so it’s a bit of a culture shock. I survived 8 years there with no car. 3 of those years were with kids. The first week we were here, I thought I’d take the kids into SF to see their dads new workplace. I walked for 40mins uphill, pushing a stroller with my 3.5yo and carrying my 1year old on my back so we could catch a bus from St Mary’s College (that runs very not very often) to Orinda BART into SF. Not an experience I would repeat. We probably should have just walked into Lafayette and got the BART from there I need to get my UK licence changed to a CA one, so I can get on the insurance to drive my husbands car"

    "When the power transformers explode, a line comes down, a neighbor has an accident, the tree cutting service smashes into the fire hydrant and floods my garage with water, a cyclist gets hit by a car and the kids run around at halloween, everyone comes together pretty quickly and there’s always people around during the day to help. Seriously good people but mother nature and other factors definitely keep it exciting."
