There is a little tree-canopied pocket in Lafayette that is widely considered to be the best place to live. It is close enough to all three schools (LES, Stanley, and Acalanes) that kids can ride bikes. On Halloween, the streets are closed off and luminarias light up the night. There are block parties, progressive dinners, occasional food trucks, flat lots, and it’s only a few blocks to downtown and across the street from the Lafayette-Moraga trail. Now, one of its prettiest homes is on the market, and it is a turn-key property–not one single thing you have to do to this one.

Recently beautifully remodeled, this home is bright and clean and airy. The tall ceiling of the living room is highlighted by the gorgeous picture windows on all sides, looking out to the maple, magnolia, and crepe myrtle trees. The wide-plank hickory flooring is soft and organic creating a warm accent to the white modernity. The open floor plan goes on to encompass a perfect kitchen with globe pendant lights and Caesarstone countertops, a dining room with sliders to the back garden, and a den/home office with built-ins. Down the spacious hallway find three light-filled bedrooms and two baths, the first with a beautiful skylight and hexagon tile to die for. The private stone patio can’t wait to host your next party, surrounded by rose bushes, mature landscaping, and illuminated by fun string bistro lights. Hurry.
