Property Description

Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in one of Lafayette's most sought-after neighborhoods, 862 McEllen Way offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and community. With direct access to the Lafayette-Moraga trail just outside your door and top-rated Lafayette schools steps away, this is where lifestyle meets location. Thoughtfully remodeled and expanded in 2011 by Lamorinda Construction, this 5BR/2.5BA home features an open-concept chef's kitchen that flows seamlessly into the family room, living room, and backyard—ideal for both everyday living and entertaining year round. Additional features include: a spa-like primary retreat, a dedicated “command center” and mudroom, an interior laundry room, a fully owned 22 panel whole house solar system, central HVAC and so much more! Situated on a 0.46 acre lot, the private backyard is a true highlight, with an inviting in-ground pool, expansive lawn area, raised garden beds, mature fruit trees, and a detached lower-level executive lounge which offers the perfect space as a gym, office or retreat. Close to downtown Lafayette's shops and restaurants, BART, and freeway, this home offers the best of suburban living with everyday convenience.
