A picturesque Cape Cod-style exterior leads you into this impressive, meticulously remodeled 5 bedroom, 4.5 bath home within Lafayette’s gated Baywood development. Backing to Briones Park open space, this spacious home and its picturesque backyard are enveloped by a background of lush rolling hills dotted with majestic oak trees. This extraordinary home is located within minutes to shopping, restaurants, freeways, and BART. Lafayette’s fine schools are very convenient with school bus service presently available from Baywood to Springhill Elementary and Stanley Intermediate School.
Gorgeous hardwood floors welcome you into the impressive two story foyer with its dramatic staircase, and flow throughout all of the central living areas and four of the home’s five bedrooms. Formal living is warmly accommodated in the home’s spacious living and dining rooms, with the dining room finished in rich wainscoting and a coffered ceiling. The light-filled living room has a wall of windows with French doors to the large front porch, crown molding, and a beautiful fireplace.
The elegantly remodeled kitchen is at the center of the home’s downstairs living area and opens to an expansive family room and informal dining area with glass doors leading to the backyard patio. The kitchen’s finely crafted custom cabinetry is complemented by granite slab counters and tumbled marble backsplashes. The kitchen is appointed with gourmet quality appliances, designed to meet the needs of the most passionate chef. One and a half baths and the home’s laundry room complete the downstairs living area.
A sweeping staircase ascends from the foyer with its hardwood steps leading to the second floor living quarters. Two full, luxuriously appointed remodeled bathrooms service the secondary bedroom wing with 4 large bedrooms; including one that has been modified with built-in cabinetry to become a beautifully appointed library/office with French doors, crown moldings, and wainscoting. French doors beckon you into the expansive master suite with a sense of space and volume enhanced by the dramatically high ceiling. Tile floors lead into the master bath with its dual-head shower, two vanities and large walk-in closet.
The stunning backyard is profuse with color from gardens filled with blooms that embrace the many areas designed for relaxation, recreation and entertainment. Glass doors open from the family room to the yard’s large patio -- wrapping around the stunning pool with a spa positioned above that spills into it. A wonderful outdoor kitchen sits adjacent to the patio, including a tranquil alcove with a bench swing and gas fire pit. A lawn, terraced gardens, and play area complete the magnificent outdoor living experience.
