About This Home
As of August 2021This Sun filled Contemporary home was designed by noted Orinda Architect James Lucas and constructed in 1982. Lovely wood accents and beamed vaulted ceilings are featured in the home. The residence lives like a single story home with all rooms on one level with the occasional one step. The primary suite is quite spacious with a fire place and large sliders that open to the deck area to enjoy a view that stretches from Mt. Diablo to the Briones Reservoir and beyond, with the Orinda Country Club golf course in the middle. The primary bedroom also includes a dressing room and a large bathroom. The home features an oversized three car garage with a workshop and level driveway with an interior door directly into the Kitchen/family room for easy living. The third bay in the garage backs up to the second bedroom..third bedroom ??? The front yard features a lovely seasonal garden that was carefully planted and meticulously maintained with an artistic eye.
