This adorable, quaint farmhouse in Lafayette is filled with character and charm galore! Lots of light, bright and airy with an open feel makes for an appealing and unexpected feel that the most discriminating buvers will love to call home. Exceptional location, walk to Bart and downtown Lafayette. Tucked away, at the end of a long driveway, on a special .36 acre lot with views of Mt Diablo and surrounding hills, this home is filled with history and amazing updates blending the old world charm of adobe bricks with modern conveniences. The heart of this incredibly charming three bedroom home is the great room featuring a large living room-dining area with fireplace and beautifully remodeled kitchen outfitted with granite countertops, breakfast bar, gas range, stainless steel appliances, and newer cabinetry. The high volume, open beam wood ceilings and expansive windows flood this great room with natural light while overlooking the backyard and covered porch. Casual, yet cozy, the spacious dining area is ideal for groups and everyday dining. Newer carpets, new paint, and dual pane windows complement the 3 bedrooms. Besides the 3 bedrooms there is an office/study/den with sliding door to the outdoors. Lots of storage, big 2 car garage, back porch, planters, + amazing Mt Diablo views

Yes, this house can use some updating....ie the kitchen and baths...but I would keep the original feeling of this house. It has amazing character. The view of Mt. Diablo is amazing.
