Property is move-in ready.
Built in 1998 and thoughtfully updated, this property is in move-in ready condition. The gourmet kitchen features modern shaker cabinetry and stainless appliances, and the high-end outdoor living space appears recently renovated. While the primary bath design (glass block and tile) reflects a slightly older renovation period (approx. 10-15 years), the overall maintenance is excellent and systems appear functional and well-kept.
Elementary School: Happy Valley Elementary School (9/10). Middle School: Orinda Intermediate School (9/10). High School: Miramonte High School (10/10).
Situated in the highly coveted Happy Valley neighborhood, this property provides access to top-tier Lafayette schools with ratings of 9 and 10, while remaining minutes from downtown and BART.
Built in 1998 and thoughtfully updated, the home features a versatile floor plan with vaulted ceilings, a gourmet kitchen with stone countertops, and a spa-like primary suite.
At approximately 0.25 acres, the lot is relatively small for the Happy Valley luxury market, where buyers often expect larger, more secluded parcels.
The property was sold very recently for $2.05M; the current list price of $2.198M represents a quick turnaround that may lead to increased buyer scrutiny regarding the value added.
