About This Home
As of December 2022Tucked in the hills of Orinda amongst mature oaks, sits this architecturally significant Mid-Century retreat! The renowned architect, Richard Danskin, masterfully created this custom home to focus on the contemporary California style of the 60’s incorporating glass, redwood, & soaring ceilings. Sophistication combines perfectly w/ casual elegance & a functional floor plan to create this modern home where walls of windows bring views of the lush exterior, virtually blurring the lines between indoors & outdoors. The home lives like a single-story home w/ all of the living areas, kitchen, primary suite, & an office/bedroom on the main level. In fact, the lower level, which has two bedrooms, a bathroom, and the laundry room, was added on years after the owners moved in to accommodate their growing family. The large deck will be your sanctuary as you look out at the greenery w/ peaks of Mt. Diablo in the distance. Large glass doors from the living room & family room make indoor/outdoor entertaining a breeze. The amazing privacy gives you the feeling that you’re miles away, yet you’re just moments from Downtown Orinda, Highway 24, & BART, making daily commutes & errands a breeze. Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind modern sanctuary!
