You'll love this totally charming cottage-style 2250 sq ft very private retreat on .9 acre lot nestled in the Lafayette hills with amazing views of greenery and beauty from floor to soaring ceiling windows. Bright and light rooms with open space blending living room, family room and beautiful recently updated kitchen together into a special "never want to leave" area! Unless you move into adjoining formal dining room and bring out the crystal! Main level (no steps in) has Primary en-suite and 2nd bed/bath, and downstairs 2 more bedrooms, and bath- one a perfect office! Large entertaining surround decks, steps up to a covered pergola, and steps down to a huge brick patio with bbq on lower part of lot...a possible future pool or ADU with separate entrance and extra parking. And several storage sheds for extra "stuff!" Great hiking trails just up the street, excellent Lafayette Schools (school bus pick-up corner of Reliez Vlly), close to Palos Verde shopping center and several restaurants. This could be your forever home!
