Lafayette Trails Estate

Set in Lafayette’s coveted Trails neighborhood on a .47-acre lot, this stunning traditional home has head-turning curb appeal in the front and breathtaking views of the Lafayette hills in the back. Conveniently located between restaurants and shopping of Lafayette and Walnut Creek, and close to the Lafayette-Moraga Trail, and top-rated schools.

This exceptional four-bedroom, four-bathroom estate, redesigned in 2004 and updated in 2024, is the essence of refined California living. Vaulted and arched ceilings, niches, large windows, French doors, skylights, custom cabinetry throughout, and natural stone counters, all tied together with oak hardwood flooring giving this home elegance that is also warm and inviting.

Every detail has been thoughtfully curated blending timeless design with elevated craftsmanship. An elegant foyer with a vaulted arched ceiling welcomes guests and leads them into a traditional formal dining and living area. The living room has a vaulted ceiling, a built-in bar area with a Sub-Zero Beverage Center and wine cooler, and a wood-burning fireplace, that overlooks the gardens through a graceful arched window. A gracious dining room features a built-in cabinet and buffet.

Redesigned in 2024, the great room and kitchen are the heart of the home with vaulted coffered ceilings, a stunning quartzite island, Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, dual Miele dishwashers, a Franke farmhouse sink and a full size prep sink, both with water filtration, abundant storage, and a breakfast nook for casual dining. The open-concept casual entertainment area has views of the gardens and the hillside to the east. Surround sound speakers and a Lutron lighting system set the mood throughout.

The gardens in the front entry are lush and filled with dogwoods, and designed with elegant arched gates and fencing offering privacy and security.
The back yard features a spacious entertainment area with an outdoor kitchen, quartzite counters and television. A fireplace offers a warm setting in the outdoor living and dining areas for gatherings and entertaining. Mature gardens include an expansive lawn, water features, fire pit, rose, flower and vegetable gardens, all surrounded by a laurel hedge, dogwoods, peonies, hydrangeas, and outdoor speakers. One side yard has a lush garden, and a dog run sits in the other.

The primary suite has vaulted ceilings and views of the garden, and French doors to the back. The en-suite bathroom is complete with a spa tub, a large shower, dual sinks, a vanity, skylights, a large walk-in closet with custom shelving, and an adjoining room, that serves as a home gym.

Three additional bedrooms are connected by a sitting room, perfect as a study or television area. One bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, and all have custom cabinetry.

With a large home office with views, wine closet, laundry room with custom cabinetry and gift-wrapping station, a mudroom, a three-car garage with a large walk-in closet for extra storage, and a second Sub-Zero refrigerator just outside the garage, this home has everything needed to create a lifetime of memories.
