About This Home

As of June 2021

Welcome to your English country estate in the heart of Orinda! A true classic, 52 Oak Drive will transport you to another time and place with its endless charm, mature gardens, large pool and gorgeous views. Under the oaks and down an azalea lined pathway awaits a traditional home bursting with character. They just don’t build them like this anymore - there are gleaming hardwood floors, gorgeous built-ins and bookcases, three fireplaces, a sunny family room with incredible views, and every bedroom is en-suite with a private bath. The grand primary suite features an amazing study with a fireplace and private deck that’s a dream home office. A birdwatcher’s paradise, enchanting outdoor areas offer private patios, a chicken coop, mature water-wise gardens, new decks with breathtaking views, a pool large enough for lap swimming and grassy lawn. Peaceful and private, yet close to town and 12 years of top rated schools, once you get here you will never want to leave!
