Artfully placed on a 1.65 acre lot of lush gardens, lawns and patios, this ~4500sqft Lafayette Hills estate offers panoramic Mt. Diablo views, essentially ONE-LEVEL living, and a rare sense of seclusion just minutes from downtown. A grand staircase entry leads to a sun-filled main level where dedicated living and dining rooms showcase the views and open to an expansive upper deck. The completely remodeled kitchen is a stunner - oversized island, all-new stainless appliances, white cabinetry, brushed gold finishes, and sweeping windows to the gardens. An adjacent dining area with built-in sideboard and a family room with dramatic raised-hearth fireplace and deck access make this the true heart of the home. The primary suite features a fireplace, walk-in plus second closet, deck access, and a spa-like bath with freestanding tub, designer tile, oversized shower, and private water closet. Two more bedrooms with newly renovated ensuite baths share their own walled patio, and a fourth bedroom plus full bath complete the main floor along with a dedicated laundry room and walk-in linen closet. The lower level adds a generous fifth bedroom or second family room with fireplace, full bath, and garden access; a flexible multi-purpose room ideal for a gym, studio, or playroom; and a dedicated wine room with shelving for hundreds of bottles. Outside: a side lawn with artificial turf and paver seating beneath a majestic shade tree; a backyard with pergola, waterfall, wrap-around patios, and multiple sitting areas; mature fruit trees including red orange, lemon, pomegranate, plum, and peach; plus a substantial office off the two-car garage opening to its own patio and a sizable garden bed. The home's north-south orientation pours natural light into every room all day. Award-winning Lafayette schools, scenic trails, the reservoir, downtown dining and shopping, and Hwys 24/680 are close at hand - private, estate-like living with everything within easy reach. Don't miss this one!
