THIS IS ORINDA LIVING! Expansive hill views, a flat backyard, and a beautifully remodeled single-level home where every room connects you to the outdoors. Set on 1.28 acres, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath home brings together a combination that’s hard to find in Orinda: privacy and scenery, a large flat yard, easy parking, and single-level living. Walk through the front door and the new kitchen immediately grabs your attention, with a large Taj Mahal quartzite island and countertops, Thermador appliances, and beautiful views beyond. A breakfast area opens directly to the new deck, while the island gives everyone another place to gather. Just beyond, the HUGE living and dining space is surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the hills, with a new electric fireplace wrapped in a dramatic porcelain slab creating a natural centerpiece. New black-on-black windows and hardwood floors give the entire home a clean, cohesive feel. Every bedroom has its own door outside. Two bedrooms face the open views, while the primary suite sits quietly toward the back of the home with direct access to a private patio. Its remodeled bathroom features a large walk-in shower. The fourth bedroom, closer to the front of the house, is a natural fit for a home office with warm wood-paneled walls. Then step outside. The large, level, fenced lawn gives kids and dogs plenty of room to RUN, with space for soccer practice, backyard games, entertaining, or simply enjoying the outdoors. Three mature persimmon trees add a little something delicious, while the surrounding acreage provides privacy and space. And yes, the driveway is actually easy! It’s wide, with plenty of room for guest parking and a large flat area at the top where you can comfortably turn around instead of backing down the hill. An attached 3-car garage provides even more parking and storage. Recently remodeled inside and out, with replaced Simonton energy-efficient windows and sliders, new decks, remodeled kitchen and baths, new central heat and AC, new HVAC ducting, a roof from 2020, and clean inspection reports, all of the work is already behind you. Just minutes from downtown Orinda, BART, Highway 24, shopping, dining, parks, and highly regarded Orinda schools. Single-level living, open hill views, a big flat yard, and room to breathe... this is Orinda living done right.
