Property description
Welcome to 1196 Monticello Road, a charming ranch-style home nestled in the heart of Lafayette’s loved Happy Valley Glen neighborhood. Cherished by the same family for more than 60 years, this special property offers a rare opportunity to be in one of Lafayette’s most sought-after neighborhoods. The inviting floor plan features four bedrooms and three full baths, with comfortable living spaces designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The gracious living and dining room is anchored by a beautiful fireplace with a marble surround, while doors open directly to an outdoor patio surrounded by mature landscaping, creating an effortless connection between indoors and out. At the center of the home is the welcoming light-filled family room, where soaring ceilings and a fireplace create a wonderful gathering space. Double sliding doors open to an inviting patio framed by a gorgeous Japanese Maple tree and lush landscaping. The kitchen features a sunny breakfast nook, perfect for casual meals, along with an adjacent laundry and mudroom offering everyday convenience. The outdoor spaces are equally special, offering a peaceful and serene setting. The spacious backyard patio provides plenty of room for entertaining with family and friends or simply relaxing beneath the shade of the beautiful tree canopy. Level lawn areas, expansive side yards, and raised planting beds provide endless possibilities for expanding the home or adding a pool. In front, a generous lawn tucked behind a classic white fence offers wonderful space for play, gardening, and enjoying the outdoors, completing this truly special setting. Happy Valley Glen is one of Lafayette’s treasured neighborhoods. Enjoy easy access to top-rated Lafayette schools, vibrant downtown Lafayette with its shops and restaurants, BART and commute routes, the Lafayette Reservoir, scenic hiking and biking trails, and countless opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.
