About This Home

As of July 2020

Nestled in the natural beauty of the Orinda Country Club neighborhood this true Mid Century Modern masterpiece is a muse's delight w/ floor to ceiling windows & French doors & an open floor plan combining living room, family room, dining area & kitchen. The living room has a cozy fireplace & opens to a spacious deck w/ views of luscious fauna perfect for relaxing while sipping a glass of Chateau Petrus. State of the art gourmet kitchen w/ stainless steel appliances & over sized island leads to deck for dining alfresco. It feels like living on one level. Master suite opens to patio ideal for sun soaked morning coffee or afternoon libations. Four large beds and office w/ a view. Basement is a great asset and could be a game room, studio, hobby room or perhaps turned into an in-law/au-pair unit. The Country Club neighborhood is highly sought after w/ its handy location close to downtown shopping, Starbucks, easy access to freeways, BART & near some of the best schools in the State.
