About 1343 Summit Road

The Best of Springhill

Welcome to 1343 Summit Road, an unbelievably special and unique home nestled atop one of Lafayette’s most sought after neighborhoods. You can’t get any better than this fabulous location for views and proximity to both schools & recreation! There is a reason why Summit Road sees almost no turnover, and this wonderful home is a prime example.  First time on market in over 45 years (and only 2nd time on market ever), 1343 Summit is tucked privately away with an almost unheard of miracle in Lafayette -- gorgeous views yet zero freeway noise.  Ready for a hike?  Open space access to the “Ridge Top Trail” and “Briones To Mount Diablo Regional Trail” -- which lead to fabulous Larkey Park -- is just across the street, and it is just 0.7 miles to the Lafayette Ridge Staging Area for hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails all the way into Briones and beyond.

This 5 bedroom, 3 bath home features 2592 SF, a 0.52 acre lot and original beauty that you cannot find anywhere else.  Spectacular panoramic views, wonderful wrap-around deck, and classic features will all make your heart soar at the never-to-be matched charm.  Ideally suited to homeowners with large families, frequent guests, or for who are looking for a lovingly maintained Estate-condition home in Lafayette with excellent bones where they can build their own equity.

You will love this over half-acre lot providing myriad opportunities to expand the current low maintenance landscaping. The sparkling swimming pool and large party hot tub will be a hit 365 days a year thanks to the gas-fired heater, and if the oversized 2-car garage and large driveway are not enough, the spacious upper parking area ensures easy vehicle accommodation for 6+ cars or a Boat/RV.  This peacefully private paradise offers a retreat-like welcoming charm that will fit all your needs whether it be gardening, relaxing or playing with family.

Inside, the home features beautiful expanses of glass that immediately define the space as extraordinary and rare.  Soaring vaulted ceilings paired with transom windows and defined by dark wooden beams immediately wow in the gorgeous front living room, while the darling kitchen, cozy adjacent family room, and spacious Primary suite are just a few of the great features this home offers. New Central Heat and AC, three full bathrooms, four very roomy bedrooms with large closets, and a converted downstairs 5th bedroom or Game Room all combine to make the space functional and fun in the meantime with endless possibilities for the future. Every room in the home wows with tons of natural light and original accents. The convenient large inside laundry room makes wash day a snap, and the wrap around deck and delicious fruit trees provide relaxation and enjoyment.

The excellent location at 1343 Summit is only 6 minutes to renowned Lafayette hot spots like The Roundup, Postino, Barranco, Social Bird, Batch & Brine, The Hideout, and Sideboard.  And if you have never experienced it, be sure to check out all the wonders of the Lafayette Reservoir Recreation Area.  Want to go to San Francisco? This home is only 3 miles to B.A.R.T and just over a mile to freeway access for the whole Bay Area. The highly acclaimed Lafayette schools assigned to this address are all close by, with Springhill Elementary and Acalanes High School only a 4 minute drive, and Stanley Middle less than a 10 minute drive.
