Nestled among a grove of towering redwoods in the scenic Alhambra Valley, this almost half-acre level property is the idyllic setting for a remodeled, move-in ready single-story home.
Approximately 2,620 square feet of living space showcases soaring exposed beam ceilings, new flooring, fresh interior paint, lots of natural light, recessed lighting, and a seamless flow to the inviting backyard sanctuary, as well as expansive indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces.
Arrive at 5104 Alhambra Valley Road and the circular driveway shaded by the canopy of mature trees.
Behind the double door entry are four bedrooms, three bathrooms, formal living and dining rooms, an expansive family room, and an eat-in kitchen.
Midway between downtown Lafayette, Walnut Creek, and Martinez, its location is conveniently accessible to BART stations, freeways, shopping, a variety of restaurants, and several recreational areas, including the more than 6,100-acre Briones Regional Park and miles of hiking and equestrian trails.
Enjoy the open, lightfilled floor plan and spacious entryway behind the double front doors. Backyard views are immediately framed in the large living room windows and transoms, which echo the pitch of the vaulted, exposed-beam ceiling that also features recessed lighting.
The formal dining room is a spacious room with a front-facing window, an exposed-beam vaulted ceiling, and a contemporary light fixture.
A wood-burning fireplace with a raised hearth and a brick surround is flanked by windows that echo the pitch of the vaulted ceiling and beautifully anchor the expansive family room. Glass French doors between the living and family rooms can be closed for privacy or left open to create an open flow.
A sliding glass door offers convenient access to the backyard deck and gardens.
The family room is open to the kitchen, which offers quartz countertops, a peninsula island/breakfast bar, painted cabinetry, and a front-facing view window over the stainless sink. Stainless appliances include a wine refrigerator. The adjacent casual dining area has a sliding glass door that opens to the side patio and garden area.
The four bedrooms include a primary retreat with a vaulted, exposed-beam ceiling and sliding glass door access to the deck and gardens. The en-suite features a Carrera marble countertop on the single-sink vanity, a stall shower, and a large reachin closet with cedar flooring behind sliding mirrored doors.
Three additional bedrooms feature plantation shutters.
Some have mirrored sliding closet doors and new carpeting.
Two bedrooms have front-facing windows, and one bedroom has a backyard view.
Step out into an ultraprivate and enchanting outdoor sanctuary featuring Trex decking, a patio, a sprawling lawn, bordering garden beds, a sports court, a greenhouse, and mature fruit, shade, and redwood trees.
There is also room for RV or boat parking behind a side access gate. Consider adding a pool, cabana, outdoor kitchen, or play structure to enhance your outdoor space.
There is plenty of room on the level yard that borders a creek.
A two-car garage with a large storage room and utility sink and a two-car tandem garage with a workbench and storage cabinets offer room for at least four cars. The circular driveway provides ample off-street parking space for several guests.
Additional features include a laundry room, security cameras, solar panels, and a mudroom area with cabinets, making it the ideal drop zone for backpacks and sports equipment.
About eight miles to downtown Lafayette and Walnut Creek BART, this home is less than five miles from Pleasant Hill, within a mile of K-5 John Sweet Elementary, and within three miles of 6-12 schools.
