A remarkable value in Orinda, this gated estate captures sweeping views of the surrounding hills and offers an exceptional blend of privacy, sophistication, and convenience. Nestled at the end of a quiet court, the home enjoys close proximity to town, top-rated schools, and major commute routes while maintaining a serene, secluded atmosphere. Recently refreshed, the 4,579 sq ft residence features a versatile, light-filled floorplan designed for both gracious entertaining and comfortable everyday living. A dramatic foyer sets the tone, opening to an elegant living room with soaring ceilings, a stately fireplace, hillside vistas, and direct access to the sunroom. The generous dining room flows seamlessly into the kitchen, where custom-color cabinetry, quartz countertops, a crisp white tile backsplash, and a well-appointed butler's pantry create a beautiful and functional culinary space. The main level hosts the tranquil primary suite along with two additional bedrooms and a full bath. On the lower level, a spacious family room with a fireplace and direct access to the backyard offers an inviting retreat for gatherings, play, or relaxation. The expansive grounds provide multiple outdoor venues: a lush lawn, areas ideal for a play structure or trampoline, charming gazebos for lounging, space for gardening, and panoramic views that frame the property in natural beauty. Welcome to Orinda-an exceptionally desirable community celebrated for its award-winning schools, abundant open space, and enduring natural charm.
