Additional Location Information
Please take a look at a google map of the area. We live up in the hills overlooking the Diablo Valley and Oakland Hills. We are at 1000ft altitude. Panoramic sunrises and sunsets. Private 3 acres with parking for several cars. We are 35 minutes from downtown SF. The shopping and dining in Walnut Creek is 10 minutes away. Take a walk around Lafayette Reservoir or visit in September for the Lafayette Art and Wine Festival. Perfectly situated for a wine country tour of either Napa/Sonoma or Livermore Valley! Or just stay at the house and relax in the pool, sauna, or hot tub. Play a game of pool, read a book!!
