Peaceful and private, yet wonderfully connected to everything that matters, this inviting single-story Saranap rancher feels like a retreat from the everyday. Nestled on a gentle hillside across from open space, the home enjoys a surprisingly quiet and secluded setting while remaining just minutes from commute highways, downtown, BART, and Lafayette schools.
Inside, vaulted ceilings, expansive picture windows, and sliding glass doors fill the formal living and dining room with natural light, creating an airy, welcoming space. A cozy wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and charm, while beautiful hardwood floors and stylishly updated bathrooms bring a contemporary feel to the home. The spacious family room looks out to the private, gently upslope backyard, where mature landscaping creates a peaceful backdrop and an easy connection between indoors and out.
The floorplan is made for relaxed California living, with two inviting outdoor spaces - a welcoming front deck and an expansive rear entertaining patio. The backyard offers generous level space, mature landscaping, and an artificial turf play area, with plenty of room for gatherings, al fresco dining, sunny afternoons, or imagining a future hot tub and fire pit for evenings under the stars.
A one-car garage, covered carport, and generous under-house storage add everyday practicality and flexibility. Set in desirable Saranap with top rated Lafayette schools and close to Highway 24, BART, downtown, this home brings together the best of both worlds: a peaceful setting that feels wonderfully removed, with the convenience of being close to it all.

Low on density and high on greenery, Lafayette offers rolling hillsides, excellent schools, and an easy commute to Oakland and San Francisco thanks to the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station in the town center.
The Happy Valley area features meandering country roads and showplace estate homes perched on large hillside parcels that offer panoramic views of the valley. Mediterranean, English, and French Country architecture populate the landscaped neighborhoods.
Lafayette’s central business district offers quality shopping and dining for locals and visitors alike. Restaurants such as Artisan Bistro, Chevalier, and Metro Lafayette are thriving. For those seeking old-fashioned comfort food, Millie’s Kitchen is a popular breakfast and brunch restaurant with large portions and modest prices.
Lafayette Reservoir is open year-round for boating, fishing, picnicking, and hiking. After a long day on the water, locals head to The Roundup Saloon, a throwback to the days of rowdy roadhouses.
