Like no other home on the market today, this grand residence is in a league of it’s own. It’s like the quiet, confident athlete who says little, but lets their extraordinary skills speak.
Unassuming from the street, you’d have a hard time imagining what awaits beyond the driveway. Pass through the front door, and it’s a grand slam, overtime touchdown, hole-in-one, half-court buzzer-beater all rolled into one architectural winner.
Designed, and built, by Mark Becker in 2003, this home combines privacy and security with craftsmanship, design and views. It is expertly oriented on the .92-acre lot, and designed to capture rare, sweeping views that stretch from Mt. Diablo to the peak of Las Trampas. Views this wide, and this unobstructed are truly hard to find, but here, they’re the main attraction in every room of the house. The views are just as grand, and just as sweeping from the manicured grounds too.
The large terraced grounds are an engineering masterpiece with a large covered pavilion, an outdoor kitchen, in-ground trampoline, Rhino sport court, graceful waterfall, and peaceful sitting areas. There’s also plenty of room to install a pool, if desired.
Interior design elements compliment and embrace the exterior beginning with large windows that fill each room with views and light. The color pallet is appealing with a lot of light, bright and white accents. Interior highlights include high ceilings, picture windows that literally frame the views, French doors, crisp moldings, newly refinished hardwood floors, built-in cabinetry, home theatre system, high-tech surveillance system and other custom elements throughout.
Spaces include a kitchen designed for gourmets, with Viking appliances, black granite counters, and a pantry with abundant shelving. The spacious media room offers state-of-the-art entertainment options as well as access to the balcony. Dining and family areas also enjoy the views with access to the slate balcony.
Spectacular sunrises and views greet you in the master suite through the windows, off its own balcony, or even from the jetted tub in the master bath. There’s also a sitting area, fireplace, and large walk-in closet.
For the professional athlete, celebrity, or executive who desires privacy, but also likes to entertain, this home is a must see.
The ability to retreat to privacy while remaining part of a true community is rare! This major league retreat is conveniently located minutes from Hwy. 24, BART, Oakwood Athletic Club, Lafayette Reservoir, town and trails, and is situated in the top-rated Lafayette and Acalanes Unified School Districts.
Offered at $3,588,000.
