Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & Accessibility: Strategically located minutes from shopping, dining, entertainment, BART, and major freeways (Hwy 24 & 680), offering exceptional convenience.
Extensive Modern Remodel: Thoughtfully updated throughout with high-quality finishes, including stained white oak floors, a stylish kitchen, and a spa-like primary bathroom.
Versatile In-Law Unit: Features a valuable en suite studio/in-law unit complete with its own kitchen and private outdoor access, ideal for multi-generational living or rental income.
Gourmet Chef's Kitchen: A well-appointed kitchen boasting stainless steel appliances, gas cooktop, double ovens, instant hot water, and premium marble/granite countertops.
Enhanced Curb Appeal & Outdoor Potential: Impressive first impression with a private driveway, new landscaping, and a spacious backyard designed for future outdoor living and entertaining.

Cons

Original Construction Age: Built in 1960, the property's foundational systems may be older, potentially requiring future maintenance or upgrades not explicitly covered by the recent remodel.
Absence of Central Cooling: No mention of a cooling system (e.g., central air conditioning) in the description, which could be a comfort concern during Lafayette's hotter periods.
Elevated Road Position/Driveway: While offering privacy, being 'set gracefully above the road' with a 'long private driveway' might present accessibility challenges or preferences for some buyers.
