Welcome to 1122 Via Media! A truly exceptional residence tucked into the coveted Happy Valley Highlands of Lafayette, where timeless design, refined finishes, and a Napa Valley inspired setting come together in perfect harmony. Owned by the same family since 1968, this home was rebuilt from the ground up in 2008. Thoughtfully designed by renowned architect William Simpson, this 4-bedroom, 4-bath estate has 3,530 square feet of elegant and effortless living space.

From the moment you arrive, a sense of tranquility takes hold. Stone steps wind through mature, professionally curated landscaping evoking the charm of a countryside villa that sets the tone for what awaits inside.

Step through the front door and you’re immediately welcomed by soaring vaulted ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and an abundance of natural light that fills the home. The living room draws you in with an expansive picture window framing serene backyard views, anchored by a marble gas fireplace that adds both warmth and sophistication.

Designed for both intimate gatherings and grand entertaining, the formal dining room showcases custom built-in cabinetry, beautifully complemented by a statement chandelier.

At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen is nothing short of spectacular. An oversized island with bar seating, prep sink, and wine fridge invites connection, while a striking custom copper range hood crowns the Dacor 6-burner gas range with double ovens. Granite countertops, high-end appliances, custom cabinetry, and a large farmhouse copper sink create a space that is as functional as it is stunning. The kitchen opens seamlessly to the family room, where a limestone fireplace and tall windows allow soft light through the surrounding trees, creating a warm, inviting ambiance.

Thoughtfully designed for flexibility, one wing of the home offers a bedroom and full bath, along with a spacious laundry room that opens to a charming private courtyard. A barrel-vaulted gallery hallway, both dramatic and unexpected, leads to a secondary en-suite bedroom or office with full bath, complete with built-in desk and cabinetry. An additional bedroom and full bath are privately situated on the opposite side of the home.

The primary suite offers a true sense of retreat, overlooking the lush backyard with tall windows and anchored by a beautifully appointed bath designed for relaxation and restoration. A jacuzzi soaking tub, perfectly positioned beneath arched windows, captures tranquil courtyard views with a bubbling fountain and invites you to unwind in total privacy. The walk-in shower is equally refined, with soft natural light filtering through glass, creating a warm and calming ambiance. Thoughtfully designed and timeless in its finishes, this space feels less like a bathroom and more like a private, resort-caliber escape.

The outdoor living experience is nothing short of extraordinary. An expansive covered patio with gas hookups allows for seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining, while the grounds, designed by nationally recognized Christopher Lines Design, offer a breathtaking backdrop of lush gardens, treetop vistas, and hillside privacy. At the center, a stunning French farmhouse limestone fountain creates an unmistakable sense of arrival.

Additional highlights include a three-car garage with built-in storage, solar panels, EV charger readiness, and an LG battery backup system. A partially-finished lower level offers flexible space for a gym, studio, or additional storage. Throughout the home, you’ll find hardwood flooring, custom cabinetry, high-end finishes, and an integrated whole-home audio system with interior and exterior speakers.

A rare offering where no detail has been overlooked—this is more than a home, it’s a lifestyle. Quietly removed, yet just moments from downtown Lafayette, shopping, restaurants, highly rated schools and easy freeway access, this extraordinary property is ready for its next chapter.
