Every Lafayette homebuyer has a wish list – location, schools, lot, home size and condition. Is a 5-bedroom home on your list?
In a real estate market as competitive as Lafayette’s it’s not unusual for buyers to expect to compromise, holding strong on some things and giving a bit on others.
Don’t be too quick, though, to give up on your dream of 5 bedrooms. We have a few 5+ bedroom homes in the pipeline that span varied neighborhoods across Lafayette. Each is surprisingly unique in terms of style, features, and other bonus spaces. The key is to find one that matches your style, needs and budget.
One excellent option to consider is our new listing at 1090 Leland Drive in the Condit neighborhood of Lafayette. This is a particularly spacious and updated 5-bedroom traditional home that offers easy access to downtown Lafayette and Walnut Creek, the Lafayette Bike Trail, Sun Valley Swim Club, and commute routes.

5-Bedroom Homes for Sale in Lafayette – A Perspective
When Lafayette homebuyers ask about the possibility of finding a five-bedroom home for sale in Lafayette, we start talking about how they think they’d use that extra space. Will it be a guest room, an office, a studio, or perhaps a more permanent residence for in-laws or an au pair. Could those needs change over time?
A Lafayette home for sale with 5 bedrooms is possible to find but the standard in our popular family-friendly neighborhoods are homes originally built with 4 or 3 bedrooms. Sometimes that 5th bedroom was added as part of a remodel and represents a specific need of the then homeowner. This means that 5th bedrooms aren’t always clustered with the other secondary bedrooms or designed solely as a bedroom. This is usually a good thing for long term flexibility of use. Plus, we’ll often find special bonus features in that 5th bedroom, such as built-ins, an en suite bathroom and/or kitchenette.
Sometimes, though, a home is newer construction and the 5th bedroom was part of the original design and meant to stand apart. Take as an example, the 5th “bedroom” of our new listing at 1090 Leland Drive .
This room is truly spacious. While not far from the other bedrooms, this particular room is ideally located closer to family common areas so that, if unneeded as a family bedroom, it easily serves as a large office, guest suite or extra family/media room. Currently the room functions as a second family/bonus room.
Situated at the front of the home, this light-filled room includes built-ins, an en suite bath room and a sink/bar area that is designed to accommodate a second refrigerator if desired.
If a 5-bedroom home is on your wish list, please take the time to tour this one. We think you’ll be glad you did. 1090 Leland is open on Sunday, March 1, from 1 p.m.-4 p.m., and otherwise by appointment.
