Situated on a secluded lot in one of Orinda’s most desirable neighborhoods, this mid-century home incorporates features that promote comfortable living year-round. The common areas have an open and flexible floor plan, walls of glass that offer views of nature, and vaulted, beamed ceilings, redwood walls and hardwood floors which, along with the fireplace, add warmth to the inviting space. The living room flows seamlessly to the dining area and family room which can be divided into work, study or play spaces. A “secret room” with a half bath at the end of the house can be a quiet office, workout room or cabana with access to the pool, and the updated kitchen includes lots of cabinets and a nook for quick meals, prep or hobby space. Relax in the lovely primary suite with two closets and vanity area, or the two additional bedrooms with lots of storage as well. Two full baths complete the comfortable bedroom wing. This private 3/4 acre lot is situated above the road and features level areas for entertainment and creative play, as well as a sparkling pool. The front lawn has new sprinklers, as does the landscaped hill behind the home--a fun area for exploration. Nearby is the popular Sleepy Hollow Swim and Tennis Club, award-winning schools, Orinda Village, Theater, BART and more!
