Property Description

Tucked away in the coveted Upper Happy Valley, 1038 Pine Lane is an exceptional property where timeless design and a storybook setting come together in perfect harmony. Hidden from the street and enveloped by lush, mature landscaping, this private retreat feels worlds away, yet is just minutes from downtown Lafayette, the reservoir, top-rated schools, & convenient commute routes. A sweeping wrap-around porch welcomes you into a dramatic foyer, where soaring ceilings, walls of glass, and a striking Japanese-inspired mid-century aesthetic set the tone. The home's architecture is both bold and serene, seamlessly blending natural elements with clean, intentional design. The living room is nothing short of breathtaking, anchored by a fireplace and framed by expansive glass that captures tranquil garden views and opens effortlessly to the outdoor living spaces. The adjacent dining area is equally captivating, ideal for both intimate dinners and larger gatherings. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen is thoughtfully designed with top-of-the-line appliances, an oversized island with bar seating, a wet bar, generous counter space, and a pantry. It flows seamlessly into the expansive family room, creating a warm and connected space for everyday living and entertaining. A laundry room is conveniently located just off the kitchen. The main-level primary suite is a true sanctuary—bathed in natural light and overlooking the enchanting gardens, offering a peaceful retreat with a strong connection to nature. Also on the main level are a private office, a full bathroom, and an additional family/media room featuring parquet floors and direct outdoor access. A short set of stairs leads to three additional bedrooms and a full bathroom, thoughtfully tucked away for privacy and comfort. Throughout the home, rich wood-paneled walls and ceilings, hardwood floors, shoji screens, and abundant natural light create a warm, organic ambiance. Every detail has been carefully curated, resulting in a home that feels both architecturally significant and deeply livable. The grounds are truly magical. Meandering pathways wind through mature, curated gardens, leading to a picturesque bridge to the pool area. Multiple patios and decks offer serene spaces for relaxation and entertaining, while a covered pavilion and outdoor kitchen with a gazebo provide the ultimate setting for al fresco dining. Every corner invites exploration and evokes a sense of escape, you truly feel transported.
