9 Townsend Place Lafayette, CA 94549

Nearly new construction, with over $600,000 in upgrades, distinguishes this lovely home. The residence, on a cul-de-sac, is just a short drive to Springhill Elementary and Acalanes High. One admires the brand-new David Thorne-designed yard, featuring a new pool, patio, pergola, BBQ island, fire pit, play area, maturing foliage and extensive new plantings. Entering the home, the foyer leads to a Great Room under a 14-foot ceiling, adjoining the well-appointed kitchen. Its centerpiece is the marble island counter, which accommodates 6 or more for casual dining. White cabinetry and top appliances encircle the kitchen, with hardwood underneath. A butler’s pantry (with wine refrigerator) sits adjacent, leading to the formal dining room. Cooking is equally easy outside; a grill and dining area sit under a StruXure pergola. Work from home is easy in the spacious office adjoining the foyer. Four bedrooms are up the stairs; the fifth is on the main floor. At the top of the stairs is a family room/playroom, with the bedrooms in every direction from there. The primary suite includes a custom walk-in closet. The adjoining bathroom features an oversized shower and stand-alone tub. The laundry room is conveniently located amidst the upstairs bedrooms. The 24 freeway is just a short drive away.
