Digital Proof: 1258 Happy Valley Rd Is Beautiful Inside & Out (Aerial Footage, too!)

I am very excited to be listing 1258 Upper Happy Valley Rd for sale. This beautiful Lafayette estate has only been on the market twice in 51 years. As a lifelong Lafayette resident, I noticed this home long before I ever considered becoming a licensed realtor, and I am not alone. It is considered by many to be a Lafayette treasure.

I remember how happy I was when this home was featured in the Lafayette Juniors’ Kitchen Tour, a popular spring local fundraising event I originated and stayed directly involved with for years, and one I continue to sponsor and attend now.

If I was lucky enough to live in this home, I know I’d spend a lot of my time in its wonderful chef’s kitchen / great room. Featuring custom Chalon Cabinetry and top-of-the-line appliances, this expansive space is filled with light and looks out onto the home’s park-like grounds, offering an incredible indoor/outdoor lifestyle opportunity.

Picture-perfect, this property exudes impeccable quality and thoughtful design. No wonder that it has also been featured in Sunset Books and showcased in the Moraga Juniors Garden Tour, too.

I think you’ll love the recently renovated (2014) master retreat, not only for its excellent use of space, but also for the beautiful millwork and many built-ins.

Even passage ways between rooms have been well designed for architectural beauty and function. I also love the fun loft built into one of the secondary bedrooms – what a great use of available space!

More and more, house hunters in Lafayette are looking for extra — but separate — space. The guest house at 1258 Upper Happy Valley Road is a wonderful extension of the home, while also offering lots of privacy.
Located near the home’s pool and expansive outdoor kitchen, there are so many ways a family can use this space through the years – true guest quarters, au pair apartment, gym, office, art studio, or a teen hangout – you decide!

What I know is that the guest house is the kind of space whose use can evolve through the years as children grow and needs change.
With our children now at college, I might personally be tempted to use the guest house as a large home office — working in a bright, poolside room is very tempting, particularly with our wonderful Lafayette weather.
What to do, though, with the two executive offices in the main house? I can think of a few things!

If you’re just curious to learn more about this amazing Lafayette estate, I do have good news. We have extensive photography as well as a wonderful aerial video. You’ll find it all, along with property details and pricing information, at www.1258UpperHappyValley.com

What I really love about the aerial video is that it does what still photography can’t do as well for a property of this size. The aerial footage offers a true sense of the expansiveness of this premium .72 acre resort-like level property, and all the many ways that its first two homeowners have taken full advantage of this rare Lafayette level lot opportunity to create a wonderful place for year-round dining, play and effortless entertaining.
