Quiet Luxury for Modern Living

 
Extensively upgraded and reimagined by a husband-and-wife architectural team for their personal residence, this townhome has been thoughtfully transformed with a refined modern aesthetic and exceptional attention to detail. From hand-selected materials and appliances to clean-lined design, every element is intentionally crafted for those who value quality, beauty, function, and quiet luxury.

Designed for both everyday ease and elevated entertaining, the indoor and outdoor spaces flow seamlessly. A retractable glass wall seamlessly connects the living area to a spacious veranda with a canopy—an ideal setting for casual family dinners, leisurely weekends, or starlit evenings.

Neighborhood

Discover Lafayette: Low-Density Living, High-Quality Life

Tucked into the rolling hills of the East Bay, Lafayette is celebrated for its scenic beauty, top-ranked public and private schools, and unmatched livability. With BART and Highway 24 just minutes away, commuting to Oakland, San Francisco, and the South Bay is effortless—yet the atmosphere here feels worlds apart.

Lafayette enjoys a coveted Mediterranean climate, characterized by warm, dry summers and mild, green winters, which make outdoor living a year-round possibility. Nature lovers take full advantage of the nearby Lafayette Reservoir for hiking, boating, and picnicking. At the same time, Briones Regional Park offers over 6,000 acres of trails and open space for hiking, biking, and horseback riding.

The Happy Valley neighborhood is among the area’s most desirable. Winding country roads lead to estate homes situated on generous hillside parcels, many of which offer panoramic valley views. Architecture ranges from Mediterranean and English to French Country, giving the neighborhood a distinct charm and a refined yet relaxed character.

Downtown Lafayette blends small-town warmth with elevated convenience. Locals enjoy boutique shopping, artisanal markets, and beloved dining destinations like Social Bird Kitchen & Bar, Reve, Barranco, Pizza Antica, and Metro Lafayette. Tutu’s remains a go-to for all-day café favorites, and The Roundup Saloon brings a touch of local history and character.

With a strong sense of community, exceptional schools, and natural beauty at every turn, Lafayette is more than a place to live—it’s a place to belong.
