996 Hawthorne Dr, Lafayette CA 94549

Welcome to 996 Hawthorn Drive, a charming home tucked into a private setting in Lafayette's beloved Trails neighborhood. Set on a .24± acre lot with views of the surrounding hills. This home offers a rare combination of comfort, light, and flexibility, and includes a separate guest house. Step inside to a bright, welcoming interior where natural light pours through the windows and the layout lives larger than its footprint. At its heart is a chef's kitchen, recently renovated and ready for everything from weeknight dinners to weekend gatherings. Three well-appointed bedrooms and two updated baths complete a main house that feels warm and move-in ready. Outside, decks built for entertaining extend the living space into the open air, framing those hill vistas and wrapped in lush, mature landscaping for added privacy. An updated guest house with a full bath and laundry adds rare versatility and is ideal as a rental for additional income, a private retreat for guests, a home office, or a creative studio. All of this sits within one of Lafayette's most walkable, sought-after pockets, named for the Lafayette-Moraga Trail that threads through it, where daily life carries an easy, outdoor rhythm. Downtown Lafayette's restaurants and shops, the Lafayette Reservoir, award-winning schools, and commute-friendly Highway 24 access are all close at hand. This is the kind of opportunity that does not come along often.
