About 3361 Sweet Drive
Welcome Home
Summertime living is especially sweet in this beautifully updated rancher at 3361 Sweet Drive in Lafayette. Invite friends over for a swim in the sparkling POOL. Relax on the expansive poolside deck with a frothy "beach" read. On quiet mornings, sip your coffee on the patio while looking out at your hilltop view. If you must work while everyone else is playing (ugh), there’s a cozy BONUS OFFICE where you won’t be disturbed. On warm nights, head downtown (1.5 miles) for a free concert on the plaza or dinner with craft cocktails. Really, this 3-bed, 2-bath home is Lafayette living at its BEST! It's a spacious entertainer’s home and also perfectly positioned near the charming downtown village, renowned A+ schools, and minutes from BART and Hwy. 24.
The first thing you notice about 3361 Sweet Dr. is the home’s park-like entry from a peaceful path shaded by a mature pine tree and other foliage. Inside, the home boasts gleaming hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, and a floor plan that feels larger than its square footage. The great room, dining room, and updated eat-in kitchen flow together for seamless living. Glass doors in the great room and kitchen open to the backyard for easy California-style entertaining. More sliding glass doors open to the front and side yards. The great room features a beautiful brick fireplace. The bedroom wing includes a generous primary suite with double closets, full bathroom, pool views, and entry to the backyard.
What's extra special about this home is the seller’s intention to donate the proceeds to charities, including Santa Rosa-based Canine Companions for Independence (highly-trained service dogs), Southern Poverty Law Center, and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum & Research Center.
