Tucked behind a picturesque white picket fence, on a treasured piece of Lafayette land, sits this incredible opportunity in the sought-after Trail neighborhood!
Perfectly positioned at the end of a private cul-de-sac, this updated single-story with detached studio sits on a nearly 2.5-acre parcel. This unique opportunity provides the ability to build a magnificent estate, create a family compound that will accommodate generations to come or move-in and enjoy as-is. If interested, Lafayette City approved plans for a Bob Swatt designed home available.
The property is dotted with majestic Oaks and provides privacy and views of Mt. Diablo. The tranquil and serene setting evokes a sense of small-town living, while the close proximity to top-rated Lafayette schools, commute routes, Downtown Lafayette and Walnut Creek and the prized Lafayette trail, reflect its ideal central location.
