About This Home

As of August 2022

Perched in the Claremont Hills among a canopy of oak, this hilltop hideaway boasts a sprawling yard w/ a private lushly landscaped botanical garden. With views of the treetops, the main floor reveals a bright, open footprint anchored in hardwoods and appointed w/ glass sliders that lead outward to a private patio. A cozy fireplace punctuates the living room, while the dining area is detailed w/ custom built-ins. Decked in granite, an updated kitchen is poised for family gatherings, equipped with S/S appliances and a sizable pantry. The upstairs is thoughtfully laid out with 3 bedrooms - 2 w/ shared balcony and hall bath w/ jetted soaking tub and skylight. A moody statement wall sets the tone in the primary suite, joined by an exuberantly tiled ensuite bath. A terraced backyard provides an outdoor oasis, replete w/ citrus, succulents, and a bubbling fountain. Finished with an attached, 2-car garage this Claremont Hills abode is minutes to Rockridge/Elmwood/Orinda.
