Description

This renovated Burton Valley home is nestled at the end of a cul-de-sac at the foot of a wooded hillside. It is a quick stroll to Burton Valley Elementary School and a short drive to all of the top-rated schools, restaurants and shopping of Lafayette and Walnut Creek. The home features new interior paint, new engineered wood floors throughout, new interior and exterior lighting fixtures, and new bathroom fixtures and features. The renovated kitchen flows into a family room with fireplace, and also a dining room that easily accommodates 6-8. The spacious living room alongside the dining room features another substantial fireplace. The primary bedroom, with an en-suite bathroom, sits under an attractive peaked ceiling with new recessed lighting. Two other bedrooms, which share a bathroom, lie nearby, each with attractive garden views. The fourth bedroom, which easily could be configured as an office, sits below. The back yard, tucked into the hillside, offers a flat area a few steps up that could be built into a play area. Outside the kitchen, and spanning the length of the home to the rear, is a shaded wooded deck, featuring a hot tub. The attached 2-car garage has shelves installed and plenty of storage space. This attractive home exemplifies happy life in Burton Valley.

    "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."
