Enter through private gates at the end of a cul-de-sac to a single level ranch style home showcasing approximately 3,067 square feet of living space and sprawling over 1.63 acres in the highly desirable North Orinda. Majestic oaks and towering trees create a park-like setting that offers endless possibilities. Walls of windows beautifully frame the garden views and light filtering trees help create a peaceful woodland ambiance. Natural light drenches the open floorplan, and multiple sliders and French doors offer a seamless flow to outdoor venues, including the spacious loggia, an expansive deck, and lawn.  Large, level property wraps around the home offering plenty of room to customize with a pool, spa, outdoor kitchen, guesthouse, cabana, and more.

The inviting entry opens to a formal living room anchored by a wood burning fireplace with a stacked stone surround that reaches the ceiling. The dining and family room areas also have a fireplace and are equally spacious. These rooms are open to a galley-style eat-in kitchen with freshly painted cabinetry, recessed lighting, skylight, SubZero refrigerator and new dishwasher, cooktop, and dual wall ovens.

Two bedrooms and one full bathroom with a dual-sink vanity, jetted tub, and walk-in shower are in one wing. These rooms have private French door access to the outside gardens and spacious closets. One more bedroom, behind a pocket door, has a front-facing window, is nearby a full bathroom and would make an ideal guest room or home office. In the opposite wing is an expansive suite, about 360 square feet, currently featuring built-in bunk beds that sleep four, a pair of built-in desks, and an en suite. Create a children’s retreat/playroom or redesign it for a luxurious primary suite. Slide open the glass doors in this room to access the deck and gardens.

Additional updates include new interior and exterior paint, new roof, new redwood fencing, new landscaping, and some new lighting.

Located just off Miner Road in the Charles Hill neighborhood, about two miles from the historic Orinda Country Club, about two and a half miles from the Orinda Village, BART, and Highway 24, the home is also about 20 miles east of downtown San Francisco. This ideal location is near popular outdoor recreation areas like Tilden and Briones Regional Parks, the Lafayette Reservoir, and top-rated schools in the Orinda and Acalanes school districts.
