Description

Perched atop the Orinda Oaks Open Space Preserve, this estate offers sweeping views of Mt. Diablo and the Berkeley hills. Mature oaks, Japanese maples, wisteria, lavender, roses, and other lush foliage flank the home. Step inside into the foyer, beneath 15-foot ceilings. To the left, a 360-sq-ft living room sits under a coffered ceiling; to the right, the dining room accommodates 10-12 with garden views. The kitchen includes a large island with bar seating, a breakfast nook nestled into a bay window, 2 ovens, 2 sinks, 2 dishwashers, and ample counter space. Adjoining the kitchen, the family room spans more than 360 sq ft, with a full wet bar. A 240-sq-ft office and large wraparound patio offer inspiring views—including glimpses of SF Bay. Four bedrooms are located on the lower level, including a private guest/in-law suite or exercise room. The 460-sq-ft principal suite upstairs features a marble fireplace, 2 walk-in closets, a nursery or exercise room, and a luxurious bath with a steam shower, jacuzzi tub, sauna, dual vanities, and skylights. Outdoor living is equally distinguished. A covered swimming pool and built-in grill supply venues for fun and entertaining. A pergola-shaded lounge area with a new gas firepit offers a front-row seat to the Preserve’s natural splendor.
