Lafayette, California | Ann Newton Cane & Michael Dreyfus, Golden Gate Sotheby’s International Realty
A charming front porch warmly welcomes guest to a dramatic, yet comfortable, large living room which features a massive wood fireplace, grand staircase, and built-in wine storage. An eat-in gourmet kitchen with breakfast bar, butler’s pantry, and fireplace make mealtimes effortless while the formal dining room and adjacent family/entertainment room offers still more space to gather.
The main home offers four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and two half bathrooms. The sizable master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, walk-in closet and sitting room is conveniently located on the ground floor along with three additional bedrooms. A guest bedroom, also with en-suite bathroom, is located on the second floor.
The layout of the home was designed to take full advantage of views of the meticulously maintained yard. The flat .88-acre lot includes a large lawn, swimming pool and a spectacular pergola-covered outdoor living/dining area with a built-in barbecue and fireplace. A detained one-bedroom, one-bathroom guest cottage with its own well-appointed kitchen is adjacent to a two-car garage and can be used as a private office.
The property is protected by a state-of-the-art security system, including outdoor cameras, night vision, thermal cameras, audit-able access controls at the estate’s exterior gates, long distance vehicle reader, exterior emergency lighting, high-security key and lock systems, motion sensors inside and out, motion lighting, broken-glass detectors, intrusion-detection photo beams, key safe with inventory keys, panic buttons throughout home, guest cottage, and garage. Smoke detectors are connected to the alarm system and an application – based intercom system (Door Bird) .
Located in the exclusive Springhill Valley neighborhood of Lafayette, near shopping, restaurants, services and top-rated Lafayette schools (Springhill Elementary, Stanley Middle School, and Acalanes High) are all just a bicycle ride or short drive away.
