About This Property

Remodeled by Orinda architect Rich Bartlett, this sophisticated 4,453 square foot estate sits on 1.53 private acres of professionally landscaped serenity. The thoughtful floor plan opens every room to sweeping views and the natural beauty of the fenced grounds, with sliding glass or French doors throughout the downstairs promoting effortless indoor-outdoor living in Orinda's Mediterranean climate. Enter into a dramatic two-story living room anchored by a stone fireplace and walls of windows capturing the views. Satin-finished hardwood floors and luxurious custom window treatments grace vaulted ceilings with rich architectural detail throughout. The eat-in kitchen is outfitted with state-of-the-art stainless appliances, abundant storage, an island with a second sink, and a peninsula that anchors the adjoining dining and family rooms. Sliding doors extend the living space outward to a patio off the kitchen and decks off the family and living rooms, perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining. The home offers 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms plus an office, along with a large bonus media room on the entry level, complete with a built-in projector and sound system, that could easily convert to a generous additional bedroom. The primary suite features two walk-in closets with custom organizers and a spa-like bath finished entirely in Carrara marble. A second en-suite bedroom offers an all-new marble bathroom with an oversized shower and vanity, while the remaining two bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. The beautifully landscaped 1.53-acre lot unfolds with meandering stone paths, terraces, a lily pad-studded koi pond, and expansive decks with a hot tub, offering total privacy and stunning views from every window. The detached two-car garage has been converted into a gym and additional hangout space complete with a TV, offering flexible bonus square footage beyond car storage to suit the new owner's needs. A large driveway and additional parking pads provide ample parking, and abundant walk-in storage rounds out this exceptional property. Most important...this is a private yet central home in the heart of Orinda! Close to all 12 years of k-12 top rated schools, easy commute location with multiple routes to the freeway.
