Property Description
A private half-acre retreat in Lafayette’s desirable Upper Happy Valley neighborhood, with San Francisco within reach. Tucked along one of Happy Valley’s most special streets, 1035 Upper Happy Valley Road is a charming single-story ranch with timeless character, exceptional indoor-outdoor living, and extraordinary park-like grounds. Conveniently located near Lafayette BART and Highway 24, the property offers easy access to San Francisco and the greater Bay Area, along with flexible spaces for working from home. A detached studio with its own full bathroom sits beside the two-car garage, offering versatility as a private home office, creative workspace, guest suite, or gym. Offering approximately 2,648 square feet of combined living space, with five bedrooms and three bathrooms in total, this beloved legacy property has been enjoyed by generations. The main residence features four bedrooms in a separate wing, including the primary suite. Beautiful architectural details, including wood-paneled walls, custom built-ins, and hardwood flooring, add warmth and character throughout. A fireplace and wood-paneled accent wall anchor the spacious formal living room, while the adjoining dining room opens directly to the backyard patio, creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The kitchen features ample cabinetry, dual ovens, and a charming breakfast nook with picturesque garden views. An adjoining fireside family room with wet bar, beverage refrigerator, and outdoor access offers an inviting second gathering space for everyday living and entertaining. The grounds are truly the crown jewel of this Upper Happy Valley property. Set on approximately .50 acres, the expansive backyard feels like a private park, complete with lush, level lawns, mature gardens, a swimming pool with diving board, generous pool deck, pool house, and spacious entertaining patio with fire pit. From summer pool parties and alfresco dining to quiet mornings overlooking the gardens, this exceptional outdoor setting offers endless opportunities to relax, entertain, and make lasting memories. Ideally located minutes from downtown Lafayette and Orinda, the Lafayette Reservoir, Oakwood Athletic Club, Orinda Country Club, top-rated Lafayette schools, and convenient commute routes. This is an incredibly special opportunity!
