Inspired by the elegant villas of Tuscany, this artisan-crafted home constructed by one of Lafayette’s best-known builders sits within a countrified setting amidst verdant green rolling hills. With spacious outdoor entertainment and recreation areas embraced by tranquil natural beauty, it is a passionate work of art that will capture your heart and mind. 

 Keen attention to detail and quality is evident throughout the property, from the architectural symmetry of the home’s design, to its exquisite craftsmanship. Central to numerous shopping options, outdoor recreation, rapid transit, area freeways and Lafayette’s fine schools, it occupies a coveted oasis of natural splendor.

The home’s elegant, open floor plan is filled by natural light that filters throughout via architectural-grade windows that are integral to its design and serve to bring the outdoor beauty within.   The home was designed to enhance the enjoyment of family and friends, with wonderful central areas for living, work, recreation, and entertainment.   This design philosophy was carried into the spacious yet secluded backyard with its beautiful slate patio highlighting the generously sized swimming pool; a spa that seemingly spills out of the adjacent hillside; meandering pathways through rock wall-terraced gardens; as well as the expansive level lawn that gracefully reaches out to vistas of Mt. Diablo.
