Property Description
Perched on a private ridge above Orinda, this light-bathed single-level retreat serves up cinematic reservoir-to-golf-course views from sunrise to star-shine. Wrapped in fresh white siding, it welcomes with a rustic plank door into a living room clad in board-and-batten walls, warmed by hardwood floors and a stone fireplace beneath towering ceilings. The eat-in kitchen pairs stainless appliances with abundant counter space and ever-changing panoramas, plus direct access to the laundry room and a handy half bath. The serene primary bedroom boasts a flexible office/sitting nook; a second bedroom shares a full bath with soaking tub and separate shower. Step outside to an expansive view deck and terraced paths leading to a partially finished, un permitted ADU—ideal for studio, guest suite, or income potential—alongside a detached garage/workshop and ample parking. Quiet, secluded, and moments to downtown, BART, and top-rated schools, this hillside haven invites you to finish the dream. Welcome home!
