There’s no place like home, especially when it sits at the end of a rose tree and lavender-bordered gated driveway in one of Danville's prestigious Tassajara Valley neighborhoods.

The two-story, move-in ready home reflects pride of ownership and attention to detail throughout the open, light-filled floorplan and out into the inviting gardens and outdoor entertaining spaces. Multiple updates elevate this home’s appeal for today’s homebuyer. About 3,544 square feet of living space features five bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and a detached studio casita with a full bathroom.

The main home showcases hardwood floors, plush sculpted carpeting, crown moldings, recessed and gallery lighting, pull-up/down shades, and oversized Andersen dual-pane windows and sliders framing scenic views. Enjoy the spacious living room with a gas fireplace and new glass doors and a formal dining room with garden view windows.

A redesigned and updated chef’s kitchen combines beauty and function around its expanded island/breakfast bar, a quartzite waterfall counter, two sinks, custom cabinetry with, pullouts, undercabinet lighting with adjustable tone, and upper glass-faced doors, and a decorative to-ceiling mosaic tile backsplash. Stainless GE Monogram appliances include microwave, oven, dishwasher, a five-burner cooktop, and refrigerator. The kitchen also includes a built-in workstation.

The adjacent casual dining area and family room are anchored by a gas insert fireplace with a raised hearth flanked by built-in cabinetry. Two sliding glass doors create a seamless flow to the inviting outdoor venues.

Five bedrooms in the main house include a main-level front-facing bedroom/office behind a double glass French door entry.

At the top of the sweeping decorative iron staircase is a skylight that illuminates the upper floor in natural light. The primary bedroom, behind a double-door entry, features a Dimplex linear electric fireplace with a timer and a mosaic tile surround, a sitting room area, a walk-in closet, and a sliding glass door that opens to a balcony overlooking the backyard. The en suite features travertine tiled floors, a dual-sink vanity, a soaking tub, and a large shower.

Three more bedrooms on this level feature reach-in closets. One oversized bedroom creates an ideal bonus/media room, office, or studio.

These bedrooms share a remodeled bathroom (2024) updated with onyx gemstone porcelain tile, an LED backlit mirror with a defogger and adjustable light tones over a dual vessel sink vanity and makeup vanity, polished chrome fixtures, and an oversized glass-enclosed shower with a decorative tile surround.

A flagstone pathway meanders through the garden, creating a private entry to the casita. The casita, which is about 432 square feet, offers a living room, a kitchenette, a washer and dryer, a step-up bedroom area, a full bathroom with a pedestal sink and a stall shower, HVAC, and a walk-in closet. A climbing rose-covered fence creates a private patio for this unit.
