Distinctive Features
The entire exterior of this “aft to stern” renovation and addition is surrounded in stone. The character of the architecture (often true with a Locker Alliance project) is breaking new ground.
The theme is the “Wine Country”. If you lived here, when you return from your vacation (any vacation), you will be glad you’re home.
This nearly ¾ acre site offers a very private, kid friendly knoll setting with plenty of lawns, Mt Diablo and Lafayette reservoir views, in the middle of Happy Valley.
Level lawns and gardens on three sides and room for a pool make this a rare find indeed.
We have expanded the floor plan to provide a wonderful master suite overlooking the reservoir and a beautiful “Agua Natural” water feature including a 7 foot cascading waterfall into the pond complete with trout, bass, and other native fish and plants.
The original radiant heat system has been updated, but, to cover all the bases, we’ve added a new forced air system, which will heat and cool the entire structure. “Wine Country” acid washed and stained floors will provide a dual system that you’ll not find anywhere else.
Many of the rooms have vaulted ceilings and you won’t believe it is just 3,800 sq ft when you walk through this wonderfully conceived floor plan. Rather than waste a “living room” waiting for the annual party, this house has a grrrreeeeaaaat open kitchen family room and a “Great room” that won’t go unused by the family. It has vaulted beamed ceilings, and an adjoining library and guest suite. It’s prewired for Cat 5, Bose surround sound, or any other system you choose, all with a magnificent view over the waterfalls, pond, Lafayette reservoir, and the east bay hills, a sight and sound experience second to none.
The master suite shares this fabulous view, high ceilings and wonderful closet and storage including a pull down stairway to either loads of additional storage space or possibly another room in the future (must apply to the city for permits and follow the development guidelines).
Dining rooms in most homes are an after thought. Not here. This magnificent space could be defined as yet another great room, with 16’ ceilings, art display balconies, sky lights, and enough room to seat 20-30 guests.
One of the many unusual features is an underground structure that, during the 60’s, was planned and built as a bomb shelter. Let’s all hope that we don’t need that function, but it certainly has afforded us an opportunity to create an underground bunker complete with lights, access stairways, sewer drains, and the capacity for 2,000 bottles of wine at the proper temperature without saluting PG&E.
Offered at $2,370,000
