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 white 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, 1.60-acres nestled at the end of a quiet court and bordering Briones Regional Park without compromising its convenient proximity to BART, downtown cafes and shopping with easy access to freeways and top-rated schools in the Lafayette and Acalanes schools 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 nothing 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 for about 200 bottles, 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.

Gourmet Kitchen/Family Room

Beauty and function is the theme of this well-appointed gourmet kitchen that is certainly destined to be a popular gathering space for family and friends. Custom maple, soft-close cabinetry with polish nickel pulls, quartzite counters with a decorative Walker Zanger tile backsplash, and an enormous island/breakfast illuminated by a trio of pendants are featured. Enjoy the convenience of dual Blanco stainless sinks with Blanco faucets, and stainless appliances that include a Thermador six-burner cooktop with a custom-designed stainless hood, dual ovens, and microwave, dual Bosch dishwashers, and a KitchenAid refrigerator.

A casual dining nook has a bay window garden view and is open to the spacious family room anchored by two view windows on either side of a fireplace with a floor-to-ceiling tile surround. Custom built-in floating walnut shelves are opposite a wall of window and double slider to one of several patios wrapped in lush the gardens.

Bedrooms/Bathrooms

The private master bedroom is a sumptuous retreat enhanced by a linear gas fireplace with a porcelain tile surround and a natural stone raised hearth. The high ceiling also features a soffit with custom lighting. Slide open the glass door to a private patio and garden. Relax around the fire pit and savor the views of the dry-stacked stone walls, lush foliage, and mature trees.

Wrap yourself in luxury and the peacefulness of a Zen-inspired master bathroom that features an open, curbless shower with four showerheads, and a freestanding soaking tub. Designer sconces mounted on built-in mirrored cabinets illuminate a dual-sink floating vanity with a natural stone counter. Two walk-in closets are outfitted with California Closet organizers.

Three additional bedrooms in this wing feature one with an en suite bathroom and front courtyard view and two that share a Jack and Jill bathroom.

A guest suite off the family room also has a private entrance. It features a front-facing view window and full bathroom featuring decorative Walker Zanger tile, honed Basalt slab vanity, and shower.
