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.
