New England charm meets California living in this spectacular Happy Valley estate!
Dazzle your guests in the light-filled martini room or the updated chef’s kitchen with new Caesarstone counters and Viking range. Dine al-fresco next to a vine-covered outdoor fireplace. Retreat to the primary suite featuring an expansive walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom with freestanding tub, marble shower stall and dual vanities. Soak up the sun while strolling through the mature gardens or lounging by the sparkling recently built pool.
The home’s three-story elegant interior features custom millwork refinished wide-plank pine hardwood on first floor, high-end kitchen appliances and new lighting fixtures. Nestled on a rare 1.96± acre lot, the expertly manicured grounds features a gated pool, level lawns, multiple outdoor seating areas and can be accessed by two gated driveways.
The colonial design has an authentic New England pedigree. When the original owners moved from Connecticut to California in the 1970’s, they brought the original plans from their 18th century home and rebuilt it in Happy Valley. Along with major upgrades in 2008, the result is a contemporary retreat that marries East Coast history with California soul.
Located in Lafayette’s desirable Happy Valley neighborhood, the home is just minutes away from BART and Hwy 24 and ideally located down the street from top-rated Happy Valley Elementary. Close to downtown, the Lafayette reservoir, Oakwood Athletic Club and only 20 miles to San Francisco.
