30 Greenwood Ct CTOrinda, CA 94563

Fabulous home conceived by architect Michael Brinkerhoff and masterfully constructed in 2003, this modern Craftsman estate is a rare synthesis of artisan craftsmanship, thoughtful engineering, and an extraordinary natural setting. Cedar shingle siding, maple hardwood floors, Douglas fir trim, and custom cherry cabinetry reflect the warmth of the surrounding landscape — bringing the beauty of the outdoors seamlessly inside. Set on a serene, award-winning .98-acre lot, the grounds are a destination unto themselves. A stone-framed stream flows beneath the flagstone patio, a year-round creek winds the perimeter with two pedestrian bridges, and a cantilevered deck hovers over the water. A built-in barbecue, dramatic 6-foot stone fire pit with built-in seating, and hot tub screened by lush plantings complete the resort-like outdoor experience. The curated edible garden features citrus, fig, grapevines, raised vegetable beds, and a Craftsman chicken coop set against a decade of native habitat restoration along the creek. Every inch of this 5BD/4.5BA home was designed with function and indoor-outdoor flow in mind. The grand entry opens to formal living and dining rooms. The chef's kitchen features a new SubZero refrigerator, double ovens, island, and custom cabinetry, flowing into a dramatic family room with soaring ceilings, built-in surround sound, and expansive windows. A 5th bedroom ensuite with cherry built-ins, fireplace, private entrance, and hot tub access serves perfectly as a home office, guest suite, or in-law retreat. A powder room and laundry complete the lower level. Upstairs: primary suite with two walk-in closets and spa bath, a small office, third en-suite bedroom, two additional bedrooms, and a full hall bath. The 3-car garage offers 220V EV charging and a workshop. Smart home features include hardwired ceiling speakers throughout, ethernet in every room, AT&T fiber, SunPower solar with Enphase microinverters, Lutron controls, LED lighting, and a whole-home fire sprinkler system. A true legacy home — overbuilt, over-landscaped, and deeply loved — now ready for its next chapter. Top-rated K–12 Orinda schools with easy access to downtown Orinda, Rheem, and Lafayette.
