857 A Mountain View Dr

Less than half a mile from downtown Lafayette, this thoughtfully remodeled home sits on an elevated hillside lot among mature oaks, with sweeping views across the valley and surrounding hills. A welcoming foyer with a custom wine cabinet and mudroom storage leads to an oversized family room with a climbing wall, basketball hoop, and blackboard wall—ideal for kids of all ages. The great room centers on an oversized quartz island with abundant custom cabinetry, vaulted ceilings, and a spacious porch shaded by a mature California black oak. The upper-level features 4 bedrooms, including a primary suite with vaulted ceilings, 4 closets, and stunning hillside views. One of the 4 bedrooms is currently configured as a home office. A private outdoor retreat off the back porch includes a level lawn, peaceful seating area, and the home’s most expansive views. A lower-level guest suite with a private entrance offers flexibility for visitors, extended family, or a secluded home office. A 2-car garage with additional storage, plus a 10-minute walk to Lafayette Reservoir trails, completes this rare offering combining modern updates, privacy, and exceptional downtown proximity.
