About This Home
As of August 2025Incomparable Mt Diablo views distinguish this 6,230 sq ft home. 4 of the home’s 7 bedrooms, and the elegant living and dining rooms, offer stunning perspectives on that iconic landmark. The foyer leads to the 884 sq ft family room. It sits under elevated ceilings and over distinctive white oak hardwoods, and a fireplace wards off winter chill. This room flows into the well-appointed kitchen, which features elite appliances, an island, walk-in pantry, and garden views. The living room (with fireplace) and dining room adjoin, each with windows to capture views. Work from home is easy in the spacious office with garden views. 4 bedrooms lie downstairs; 3 more (including the principal suite) are up the circular stairway. The latter bedroom covers 544 sq ft under a beamed ceiling and skylight, with a sitting room/office and deck alongside. The en-suite bath offers mirrors everywhere, dual sinks, and a shower with a deep bathtub. The closet is immense. Downstairs, 2 bedrooms have mountain views; the guest suite has pool/garden views with a fireplace, en-suite bath, and tiled floor. The back yard features the pool, spa, grassy area, and outdoor dining area under a pergola. Nearby Taylor Blvd brings one quickly to Springhill Elementary, Acalanes High, and Lafayette’s restaurants.
