Property Description
This gorgeous, unique, contemporary home was custom built from the ground up in 1997. With just one owner who moved in 1998, it is and has been meticulously maintained with exceptional detail. The home's design affords stunning views over Orinda Country Club Golf Course, across to the San Pablo Upper Reservoir and out in the distance to Mt. Diablo. Off the entry is a pretty living room flanked by large windows; a perfect spot to read a book, entertain or enjoy a roaring fire in winter. 1/2 bath for guests. Off the dining area you can access French doors that open to a covered, lighted dining patio and BBQ area that can be enjoyed year round. Another set of French doors opens off the family room out to a large sitting area where you can watch a Harvest moon rise over Mt. Diablo or see the sun set. Large sky lights cascade natural light into several living areas of the home. The Primary Bedroom was enlarged by the owners to create a sitting area where one can read or watch TV. There's a large ensuite owner's bathroom with 2 custom designed walk- in closets, a soaking tub, double vanity and separate toilet room. On the same level you'll find 2 additional beautiful guest bedrooms down the hall and a full bath. A half level down is an newly updated office you'll never want to leave when you see its views. This can also be used as a 4th bedroom. All interior doors feature Baldwin hardware. Custom window shades. Flooring is cherry hardwood and recess lighting throughout the house. There's storage galore, which is a rarity in Orinda. The well designed kitchen has quartz counter bar seating, double ovens, under-mount sink, soft close drawers and large pantry closet. Just beyond is a separate laundry area with full capacity W/D, a plethora of cabinetry and a large finished storage area. The home is very private, all hardscape walls and paths are completed with drainage, landscaped garden beds with irrigation, landscape lighting and specimen trees that draw magical bird life. The attached 2 car garage is fully finished with lighting, epoxy floors, storage and a surround of built-in cabinets. The home is equipped with fire suppression sprinklers, a Moen Pro Device, Ring exterior perimeter cameras and dual AC units. A rare opportunity, available for the first time in 29 years. This prime location is just minutes to downtown with proximity to Wagner Ranch Elementary, Orinda Community Park & Library, The Farmer's Market. Hyw 24, and BART. Public top-rated schools K-12.
