Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1973, this property showcases a well-preserved mid-century modern aesthetic. While the home appears to be meticulously maintained with clean hardwood floors and original architectural features like vaulted wood ceilings and expansive windows, the kitchen, in particular, retains its original 1970s design with flat-panel wood cabinetry and period-appropriate hardware. This style, while 'timeless' in its architectural significance, is considered outdated by current market standards. There's no evidence of recent extensive renovations (within the last 15 years) to update major components like the kitchen and likely the bathrooms (which are not pictured). The property is functional and move-in ready, but its major components, especially the kitchen, show signs of being outdated, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Expansive Equestrian Estate: Set on over ten acres of private land, this property boasts comprehensive equestrian facilities including a 3,000 sq. ft. center-aisle barn with 8 stalls, 8 paddocks, a covered and lit round pen, and fully fenced pastures.
Architecturally Significant Design: Designed by award-winning architect Hirsch Morton, the Mid-Century Modern residence features timeless architecture, soaring ceilings, warm wood finishes, and expansive glass walls creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow.
Panoramic Views: The estate offers spectacular panoramic views across the county, encompassing city lights, hills, mountains, and natural landscapes from every window.
Direct Trail Access: A unique and highly desirable feature is the direct trail access to miles of trails and the open expanses of Las Trampas State Park, ideal for equestrian activities and outdoor enthusiasts.
Prime Lafayette Location: Located in Lafayette, the property provides an authentic rural lifestyle amidst natural beauty while retaining convenient access to the amenities of the town.

Cons

High Price Point: With a list price of nearly $7 million, the property's high valuation significantly limits the potential buyer pool to a very specific high-net-worth demographic.
Age of Property: Built in 1973, the property is 50 years old, suggesting that major systems (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical) may be original or require significant updates, potentially incurring future capital expenditures.
Niche Market Appeal: The extensive equestrian infrastructure, while a major strength for horse owners, may be viewed as unnecessary or high-maintenance by buyers not seeking an equestrian lifestyle, potentially narrowing its broader market appeal.
