Private. Panoramic. Perfectly Positioned. Tucked at the end of a private drive on 1.65 acres, 6 Tanglewood Lane offers a remarkable sense of privacy and space just moments from downtown Lafayette. Surrounded by mature landscaping and expansive views toward Mt. Diablo, the property feels worlds away while keeping BART, schools, dining, shopping, and everyday conveniences close at hand. Inside, approximately 4,605 square feet are designed for comfortable, connected living. The nearly single-level main floor creates an easy flow between the reimagined kitchen, generous living spaces, dining areas, and the outdoors. Large windows and doors draw in natural light and frame the surrounding hills, allowing the landscape to become part of the home. The kitchen is both beautiful and functional, thoughtfully updated for daily life and entertaining. Generous gathering spaces open naturally to the outdoor areas, creating a home that works equally well for quiet mornings, family dinners, celebrations, and evenings with friends. The overall layout feels open and inviting while still offering defined spaces and places to retreat. The primary suite is a private sanctuary with its own balcony, fireplace, and spa-like bath, offering a peaceful place to begin and end the day. Four additional main-level bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, office space, or creative use. A lower-level room adds another layer of versatility and can serve as a guest suite, media room, gym, office, or additional living space. Outside, the scale of the property is felt immediately. The grounds offer room to gather, play, garden, relax, and take in the changing light across the hills and Mt. Diablo. Outdoor areas extend the living experience beyond the walls of the home, while the quiet setting and nearby trail access create an easy connection to nature. What makes Tanglewood especially distinctive is the combination of privacy and proximity. Few homes offer this much land, this kind of outlook, and this sense of retreat while remaining so close to the heart of Lafayette. It is a home that feels removed without being remote, expansive without sacrificing convenience, and private without giving up connection to the community. For buyers looking for more than square footage, Tanglewood offers something harder to find: a sense of place. The setting, views, land, light, and location come together in a way that feels both grounded and exceptional. Moments to downtown but a world away...
