Inspired by a love and lifelong appreciation of Japanese art and architecture and renovated for a contemporary lifestyle, this Orinda Country Club neighborhood home is a spectacular work-of-art that beautifully harmonizes indoor/outdoor living. Fabulous gardens lovingly cultivated and maintained for decades, showcase an equally impressive design of foliage and trees started from seeds and collected from all over the world. Rhododendrons, dogwoods, magnolia, and camellias burst with seasonal color along the meandering pathways and under the canopies of mature evergreens. A popular stop for past garden tours, the peaceful aesthetic that includes a koi pond and migration-style gardens remains a welcoming embrace at the end of a busy day. The more than 4100 square feet of living space, mostly on one level in the main house, is a celebration of natural light and openness. Completed just last year, the detached appx. 704 sf guesthouse offers its own driveway and 2-car garage.
