New contemporary masterpiece of artistic design celebrates California’s quintessential indoor/outdoor lifestyle and an open, single-level floor plan filled with custom finishes. Located in one of Lafayette’s desirable neighborhoods, the home showcases a fresh and stylish combination of stucco, stone, and richly stained cedar siding on the outside with a masterfully designed interior created for livability, entertaining at every level, and the spectacular garden views.
Enjoy the tranquility of private, 1.6-acres nestled at the end of a quiet court and bordering Briones Regional Park without compromising its convenient proximity and walking distance to BART and downtown cafes and shopping with easy access to freeways and top-rated schools in the Lafayette and Acalanes school districts.
A wall of Fleetwood windows in the living and dining room opens, creating a seamless flow to an amazing, multi-level outdoor resort wrapped in lush gardens. From quiet retreat spaces and outdoor dining venues under the canopies of towering redwoods, and romantic spots by the fireplace to a pool party haven complete with a water slide and a beach terrace, an outdoor kitchen, and sports court, this professionally designed backyard leaves little to be desired.
Behind the custom Bloomberg front door is almost 5,000 square feet of light-filled living space featuring five bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms including a private bedroom wing and a separate guest suite, plus an office/library/music room, open living and dining room areas, a wine closet, and a fabulous eat-in gourmet kitchen and adjacent family room.
San Francisco Interior Designer Tineke Triggs of Artistic Designs for Living created a stylish interior that is also warm and comfortable. She blended gorgeous and durable quarter-sawn oak floors, designer tile work, high ceilings, custom lit soffits, smooth textured walls, custom built-ins, dual pane, and wood-trimmed sliders and windows, and a natural and fresh palette of colors.
