1149 Sierra Vista Way, Lafayette
Are you looking for something out of the ordinary? A really individual character home in Lamorinda that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg? If so, take a look at this!
1149 Sierra Vista Way is a charming ranch style 1960s built home set well back from and in an imposing position above Sierra Vista Way, a quiet lane in a country setting just a few minutes from downtown Lafayette, the 680 freeway and BART. It is fronted by a large deck that would provide an ideal location for young children to play in complete safety and is also perfect for just relaxing and watching the sun set over the distant hills. The home has a traditional shingle hung front elevation with wood framed high efficiency dual-paned windows that are none the less, still in perfect character.
The glass paneled front door opens to a most attractive living room with a high wood paneled open ceiling with cross beams and a welcoming fireplace with wood burning stove. Off the living room is the dining room that looks out to the back yard, and the well-equipped kitchen leading through to the cozy family room at the back of the home. All of the rooms have a strong traditional feel and there are beautiful original hardwood floors through most of the home. The bedrooms are of good size and the master suite is particularly attractive with bamboo flooring and a remodeled master bath.
Outside at the back is a completely private and very pleasant seating area and an established garden that is extremely well stocked with a wide range of bushes and fruit trees. With oranges, lemons, figs, olives and pomegranates, the present owners say that they are virtually self-sufficient for fruit. This area is very sheltered and is very attractive to visiting humming birds. There is also an area to the right-hand side of the home that is currently used to grow vegetables and this could easily be modified to provide a small lawned areas if desired.
In summary, if you like modern homes of uniform design, set side by side, this is probably not the home for you. If, on the other hand, you want an individual home with the ambience of a cottage, a more traditional type of home but with modern conveniences and improvements such as dual-pane windows and a newer roof, then this home is definitely well worth your consideration.
