Escape from it all in this oasis of serenity and natural beauty in this Upper Happy Valley estate, a beautiful two-story home on 2.5 acres boasting panoramic views of the surrounding hills and Lafayette Reservoir. The spacious 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and den home is perched high on the hillside at the end of a long, private driveway, ensuring peace and privacy. Located in the highly desirable Upper Happy Valley neighborhood, just minutes from 12 years of award-winning Lafayette schools; unbeatable dining, shopping, and entertainment options in downtown Lafayette; freeway access; and both the Lafayette and Orinda BART stations. An enchanting entrance welcomes you to this gorgeous home, with mature Japanese maple trees, lush landscaping, wood-planked deck leading over a trickling stream, and a skylight-covered courtyard at the French-door entry. With a wraparound balcony and glass walls, this house is designed to maximize its most significant asset: breathtaking, nearly 360-degree views!
