4030 Tilden Ln, Lafayette, CA 94549

Open Sat & Sun 1 to 4pm. A most delightful home tucked at the end of North Tilden Lane in Lafayette's Upper Happy Valley. The home has been the centerpiece of a life well lived for the Cook Family for more than 4 decades. They started with a small rustic cabin in 1970 and carefully and extensively rebuilt, modernized and expanded it, keeping much of the original 1936 detail and all of the charm. On approach through the entry garden, you cross the gracious brick patio to find one of 5 dutch doors that invites you into the home. Once inside, you will find an open living & dining area, a quaint open kitchen, 3 bedrooms, and a very functional office/work-space in the middle of it all. You won't find much sheetrock - clear redwood covers walls & ceilings. The Cooks filled the garden with beautiful trees & flowering plants. They also painted, carved & created in the artist studio and workshop behind the home. Its hard to believe this tranquil creek-side oasis is just 4 mins from highway 24!
