Property Description
Tucked at the end of a quiet one-lane road, this remarkable geodesic dome home channels the vision of Buckminster Fuller in a stunning architectural statement. Nestled on a private one-acre hillside, it offers panoramic views of Diablo Valley and a true escape into nature. The sellers chose this property with their two daughters education in mind, drawn to Lafayettes exceptional schools, all of which are rated 9 out of 10, and the property's complete privacy. The dome features recycled wood interiors, skylights, and expansive windows that fill the space with light. Unique touches, such as handmade stained glass, colorful cabinetry, and a custom shingled exterior, add charm and personality. Inside, a dramatic triangular window wall opens to a large deck, and the home features an updated kitchen, spacious bedrooms and baths, as well as both living and family rooms for relaxed, inspired living. In January 2025, during the PG&E power shutoff, Lafayette residents faced days without power. But this home, powered by solar panels and a battery backup, stayed fully functional. "While neighbors relied on flashlights, our lights were on, the fridge running, and our lives uninterrupted."
