Welcome to a home where the day begins beneath towering redwoods, tucked within one of Happy Valley's most exclusive enclaves. This updated modern residence offers something increasingly hard to find: a private, tree lined setting paired with the ease of living close to everything. Walls of windows keep the interior bright and open, so the surrounding trees read as a backdrop to daily life rather than a canopy overhead, private and unhurried, yet never removed from the rhythm of the neighborhood. Inside, 3,707± square feet unfold across a bright, open floor plan built around light and connection. Skylights and walls of windows frame views of the surrounding oaks and redwoods, giving each room a sense of place without closing it in. Soaring ceilings rise above a kitchen and family room that flow together as the true center of the home, finished with Miele, Viking, and Sub-Zero appliances and a temperature-controlled wine closet ready for a weeknight dinner or a celebration that spills onto the decks. The HVAC system, water heater, and roof have all been replaced within the last five years, offering peace of mind. The bedrooms are generous in scale, and the primary suite is the standout: a private balcony with treetop views, a luxurious en suite bath, and a walk-in closet. Outside, expansive decks, including an oversized Ipe deck, and a back patio give room to entertain on any scale, in a setting that feels both private and open. All of this sits in the heart of Happy Valley, close to top rated Happy Valley Elementary and just moments from the shops, restaurants, and markets of downtown Lafayette. Commuters will appreciate the easy freeway access and nearby Lafayette BART, while surrounding trails and open space keep the natural world within reach.

Private. Panoramic. Perfectly Positioned. Tucked at the end of a private drive on 1.65 acres, 6 Tanglewood Lane offers a remarkable sense of privacy and space just moments from downtown Lafayette. Surrounded by mature landscaping and expansive views toward Mt. Diablo, the property feels worlds away while keeping BART, schools, dining, shopping, and everyday conveniences close at hand. Inside, approximately 4,605 square feet are designed for comfortable, connected living. The nearly single-level main floor creates an easy flow between the reimagined kitchen, generous living spaces, dining areas, and the outdoors. Large windows and doors draw in natural light and frame the surrounding hills, allowing the landscape to become part of the home. The kitchen is both beautiful and functional, thoughtfully updated for daily life and entertaining. Generous gathering spaces open naturally to the outdoor areas, creating a home that works equally well for quiet mornings, family dinners, celebrations, and evenings with friends. The overall layout feels open and inviting while still offering defined spaces and places to retreat. The primary suite is a private sanctuary with its own balcony, fireplace, and spa-like bath, offering a peaceful place to begin and end the day. Four additional main-level bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, office space, or creative use. A lower-level room adds another layer of versatility and can serve as a guest suite, media room, gym, office, or additional living space. Outside, the scale of the property is felt immediately. The grounds offer room to gather, play, garden, relax, and take in the changing light across the hills and Mt. Diablo. Outdoor areas extend the living experience beyond the walls of the home, while the quiet setting and nearby trail access create an easy connection to nature. What makes Tanglewood especially distinctive is the combination of privacy and proximity. Few homes offer this much land, this kind of outlook, and this sense of retreat while remaining so close to the heart of Lafayette. It is a home that feels removed without being remote, expansive without sacrificing convenience, and private without giving up connection to the community. For buyers looking for more than square footage, Tanglewood offers something harder to find: a sense of place. The setting, views, land, light, and location come together in a way that feels both grounded and exceptional. Moments to downtown but a world away...
