Light-Filled Single-Level Lafayette Home on an Oversized Saranap Lot

By Lauren Kilbourne Realtor | October 1, 2026

From the welcoming front porch and attractive front lawn, 925 Juanita Drive gives an easy, unhurried first impression. Built in 1947 and beautifully updated, this single-level Lafayette home pairs classic shingle character with indoor and outdoor living that works for everyday life. It sits in Saranap, on a generous 11,200-square-foot lot, with three bedrooms, two baths, and room to spread out both inside and out.

OPEN-CONCEPT LIVING AND DINING WITH PEAKED WINDOWS

At the heart of the home, an expansive open-concept living and dining area creates an effortless flow for daily routines and entertaining alike. A spectacular wall of windows rises to dramatic angled peaks, filling the space with natural light and framing tranquil views of the backyard. The room feels open and airy without losing its warmth. It is the kind of space where a quiet morning and a full dinner party feel equally at home.

MODERN KITCHEN WITH BACKYARD VIEWS

The modern kitchen keeps the outdoors in sight, so you can prepare dinner while keeping the yard in view. Its position at the center of the home makes it easy to cook, talk, and move between the kitchen, the dining area, and the patio. Indoor and outdoor living connect here naturally, which is exactly where the floor plan earns its keep.

PRIMARY SUITE WITH SPA-INSPIRED BATH

The spacious primary suite offers both a walk-in closet and a second closet, a rare amount of storage for a home of this era. Its spa-inspired bath features a jetted tub and a separate shower, a place to unwind at the end of the day. Both bathrooms have been tastefully updated with a fresh, modern aesthetic, so the whole home feels current.

OVERSIZED YARD WITH LAWN, PATIO, AND ADU POTENTIAL

Outside, the oversized yard is the home’s great luxury. A sweeping lawn, established garden areas, a play structure, and a generous patio set the stage for al fresco dining, weekend gatherings, and relaxed afternoons in the sun. The lot size also gives this Lafayette home room to grow, with space to explore a future ADU, subject to county approval.

OWNED SOLAR, CENTRAL A/C, AND TWO-CAR GARAGE

The practical details are just as strong. Central air conditioning keeps the home comfortable through East Bay summers, and an owned solar system offsets energy costs without a lease to transfer. The attached two-car garage includes a 220-volt outlet ready for EV-charger installation. The expansive driveway fits up to three cars, with additional space for RV or boat parking.

LIVING IN SARANAP, LAFAYETTE

Saranap is a quiet, tree-lined pocket of unincorporated Contra Costa County, tucked between Lafayette and Walnut Creek. The name dates to the early 1900s, when the electric interurban railway that ran through the area named its local stop for Sara Naphtaly, mother of one of the railway’s backers. Today the neighborhood offers a calm residential setting with both downtowns minutes away.

Owning a Lafayette home in Saranap makes daily life easy. The home is served by Lafayette schools from elementary through high school, and Highway 24, downtown Lafayette, and downtown Walnut Creek are all close by. The nearby Lafayette-Moraga Regional Trail offers miles of paved hiking and biking. Lafayette Community Park and the Lafayette Reservoir add room for picnicking, boating, and exploring the outdoors.

A NOTE FROM LAUREN

What I look for in a Lafayette home is how well it connects to the land around it, and this one does it beautifully. The peaked wall of windows, the kitchen’s view to the yard, and the patio all work together, so the backyard feels like part of the house. Add single-level living, owned solar, central air, and parking for nearly anything, and you have a home that is as practical as it is inviting.
