Description

There is a particular balance that buyers spend years trying to find: privacy without isolation, space without sacrifice, and a setting that feels genuinely removed while keeping everything close. 21 Nemea Lane delivers all of it. Tucked behind a shared gate on a quiet private lane, this custom home sits at the gentle intersection of Lafayette and Moraga, where nearly three acres of mature grounds frame sweeping views and a lifestyle that is as social or as serene as you choose to make it. The Home At 4,635± square feet, the layout is generous and thoughtfully considered. Custom designed by Ward Young Architects and built over two years and completed in 2005, the home reflects the kind of care that only comes when a family builds for themselves, thoughtfully updated and move-in ready. The main level is designed for the way life actually unfolds day to day: a spacious primary suite and a dedicated home office are both positioned here, making single-level living entirely achievable. An expansive chef’s kitchen sits at the heart of the home, drawing people together naturally, personally designed by Leila Douglah of Douglah Designs. A butler’s pantry and additional dishwasher connect seamlessly to the dining room, making large-scale entertaining genuinely effortless. Abundant gathering spaces and private retreats make it equally well suited for a full house of guests. Secondary bedrooms are situated on the lower level, giving everyone room to spread out. The Grounds Step outside and the property opens up. A sparkling pool and outdoor grill area create an entertaining setting that feels a world apart, while a separate lawn level offers the kind of open, grassy space that families genuinely use. A gate at the back of the property opens directly onto the Lafayette Reservoir Rim Trail, putting one of the Bay Area’s most beloved recreational paths right in the backyard. Nearly three acres of mature landscaping frame views that carry to the horizon, and the scale of the land provides room to garden, play, wander, or simply breathe. The Location Head toward Lafayette and downtown restaurants, shops, and the Lafayette-Moraga Trail are just minutes away, with Lafayette Elementary and Stanley Intermediate sitting just at the bottom of the hill, and the nationally recognized Acalanes Union High School District rounding out the public school path. Highway 24 and BART are equally convenient for commuting professionals.

    "Lovely, quiet and beautiful place to call home. Plenty to do downtown, close to shopping and basic essentials. Lots of walking areas and very safe for being a single woman. I can safely walk at anytime of the day. "
  • Jeni Corso
    "People are friendly. Some areas are hilly but for the most part you can find a nice area to stroll with your dog."
  • Trulia User
    "Downtown is walkable from most parts of Lafayette and it’s well connected to other parts of the bay via BART"
  • Sjdole
    "I used to live at the coralee house in Lafayette and loved it. It was cool year round with all the trees. It was like living inside Muir Woods. "
  • Saul Padilla
    "It is a great place for living, very good schools and delicious restaurants located in downtown. We are so happy living here"
  • Trulia User
    "Perfect for dog owners! The streets are beautiful, full of trees, and roses, landscaping and rolling hills!"
  • Trulia User
    "lots of dogs are here so if you don’t want to say hi constantly don’t come here but otherwise there are dogs everywhere"
  • Rebecca R.
    "Halloween is a big deal; lots of kids around riding bikes throughout the year; elementary school and high school both nearby; neighbors are friendly"
  • Gavinjdaniels
    "Safe neighborhood with a casual swim club and plenty of local trail access. Highway is 4 miles away but traffic isn’t an issue unless you’re driving into Burton valley for school drop off."
  • Alicia B.
    "Is a nice safe neighborhood with well maintained gardens and parks for the most part people are friendly and welcoming. Public transportation is good and reliable "
  • Muzyhull
    "Great neighborhood for raising a family! Very little traffic. Kids can ride their bikes and feel safe. The one drawback of living in our area is there are no sidewalks or street lights. We’re in the unincorporated area of Lafayette."
  • Geraldine F. M.
    "Feels like a holiday location in the mountains yet close for corporate life in the city. Best area for high schoolers. "
  • Sian
    "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"
  • Sian
    "The community center on St Mary’s Road is brilliant. It had a tot drop, no registration required preschool, a playground, trails, loads of different keep fit classes and other community events"
  • Ranjitha R.
    "Art and wine festivals that happen around Lafayette. Farmers market, hikes charity events and lot more!"
  • Lucas L.
    "My neighborhood has great access to public transportation and the commute to downtown is 1 minute. I'm"
  • Derek D.
    "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."
  • Emimae05
    "I moved here six years ago, and have felt welcome every second. We have become very close with a few of our neighbors and say hello to them often. "
  • Monumentmen
    "It was the first place I lived when I moved to CA, 16 years ago. I was in my mid 20s & single, so I moved to SF as soon as I could but as soon as I got married & had a kid, I wanted to come back. It’s a great place for kids!"
  • emimae
    "Every Halloween people ‘boo’ each other, which is just doorbell ditching but leaving a sign that says “you’ve been booed” and a box full of Halloween goodies"
  • Aimee W.
    "Beautiful tree lined family neighborhood with great schools and an easy commute to SF. Friendly people, great outdoor spaces and amazing place to raise kids."
  • Monumentmen
    "I walk to work at a local coffee shop. I drive to school in Berkeley. The commute is fairly easy save for returning to town on the 24 at rush hour. "
  • Sgatti28
    "Streets downtown can get jammed around school time. people are very polite drivers on average. Downtown has too many parking meters. "
  • Tjspot10
    "I don’t commute, but my husband commutes to SF using BART. His commute including driving to BART varies between 50 minutes on a good day and 90 minutes on a really bad day."
  • Cliney
    "Big yards here, good for raising Cujo right!. Lots of great trails and back streets to walk poochie on. People are tolerant of dogs. Not too many pit bulls around though."
  • Deborah L Mcelwaine
    "I have lived in this area all my life and ... and love everything about it. I graduated from Acalanes High School and attended St Marys ... My family has been an active part of the the community for over 60 years ... I have traveled the world and like a homing pigeon have come home to roost ... no other place on earth compares to home swwet home !!"
  • Michael.e.hansen

  • Emay5
    "family suburb with excellent schools, easy BART to the city, quick access to freeway, upscale shops "
  • Lauren H. T.
    "Very easy freeway and bart access via Deer Hill Road. Pleasant Hill road can back up but we don’t have to go too far down so it never takes more than 5-10 minutes in traffic. "
