Property description
Nestled into the sun drenched Lafayette hillside up a private drive in the prestigious Happy Valley neighborhood, rests this classic 4 bedroom/2.5 bath, 2385 sq ft original Jack Marchant home. Built in 1967, Marchant was long acknowledged as a leading force in the movement of suburban design embracing the “Modern California Living” concept. With the unmistakable influence of world renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright, Marchant was known for his walls of glass, open beam ceilings, generous living room with striking floor to ceiling fireplace and formal dining room with his hallmark “expansive views”. A large family room opens to the eat- in kitchen ideal for family gatherings. The cozy wood paneled fourth bedroom doubles as an office or guest room. On .57 acres with sweeping views of the hillside and Mount Diablo, mature trees and landscaping, wrap around deck, patio and a sparkling pool. Close to downtown Lafayette shops, restaurants, BART &Hwy 24. Top rated schools.
