About this home

Welcome to a home where the day begins beneath towering redwoods, tucked within one of Happy Valley's most exclusive enclaves. This updated modern residence offers something increasingly hard to find: a private, tree lined setting paired with the ease of living close to everything. Walls of windows keep the interior bright and open, so the surrounding trees read as a backdrop to daily life rather than a canopy overhead, private and unhurried, yet never removed from the rhythm of the neighborhood. Inside, 3,707+/- square feet unfold across a bright, open floor plan built around light and connection. Skylights and walls of windows frame views of the surrounding oaks and redwoods, giving each room a sense of place without closing it in. Soaring ceilings rise above a kitchen and family room that flow together as the true center of the home, finished with Miele, Viking, and Sub-Zero appliances and a temperature-controlled wine closet ready for a weeknight dinner or a celebration that spills onto the decks. The HVAC system, water heater, and roof have all been replaced within the last five years, offering peace of mind. The bedrooms are generous in scale, and the primary suite is the standout: a private balcony with treetop views, a luxurious en suite bath, and a walk-in closet. Outside, expansive decks, including an oversized Ipe deck, and a back patio give room to entertain on any scale, in a setting that feels both private and open. All of this sits in the heart of Happy Valley, close to top rated Happy Valley Elementary and just moments from the shops, restaurants, and markets of downtown Lafayette. Commuters will appreciate the easy freeway access and nearby Lafayette BART, while surrounding trails and open space keep the natural world within reach.
