Drenched in natural light, the open floor plan showcases bands of clerestory, wood floors, soaring ceilings, & walls of windows framing lush oak-dotted and magnificent hillside views. More than 2,500 sqft of living space with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms includes a great room with a gourmet kitchen with custom cabinetry, granite counters and breakfast bar and stainless appliances, plus a step-down living room. Open multiple French doors to an expansive deck, flagstone patio with an outdoor kitchen, and pool. About two miles from the Orinda Village, BART, and freeway access, this home is ideally located about 20 east of downtown San Francisco, near top-rated Orinda and Acalanes District schools & an abundance of scenic open space, including Tilden and Briones Regional Parks.
