Spectacular Mid-century Modern
4 Bed | 3 Bath | 2644± Sq. Ft. | 3.53± Acre Lot
Truly a one-of-a-kind property, this spectacular mid-century modern home mixes architectural elements of Frank Lloyd Wright and developer Joseph Eichler with direct views of Mt. Diablo on an expansive 3.5-acre parcel and located minutes from downtown Lafayette.
The open living room defines the “California Modern” style, featuring clean lines, post and beam construction, and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the heritage oak trees and surrounding hillsides.
The spacious primary suite includes custom built-in shelving as well as a light-filled en suite bathroom with unique marble finishes. Three more bedrooms are designed for flexible living arrangements with access to two full baths.
The home takes advantage of the serene and private setting with a spacious deck, front and back patios for entertaining, pool, and 180-degree views, creating a treehouse retreat. The rare 3.53-acre property offers endless opportunities for gardening, entertaining, and play. The lower part of the property is covered by a scenic easement, ensuring the view can never be blocked.
The A+ central Lafayette location is a commuter’s dream just minutes to Hwy. 24/680 and Lafayette BART, while the close proximity to downtown, shops, restaurants, schools and recreation provides even further convenience.
