Grand and freshly updated Orinda estate tucked among almost three and a half acres of oak-dotted land is an absolute treasure for those seeking an ultra-private sanctuary and exclusive East Bay residence.

The gated property at the end of the cul-de-sac showcases almost 4,500 square feet of light-filled living space on two levels masterfully crafted with extensive millwork, hardwood floors with an inlaid decorative band, soaring ceilings, recessed lights, and new windows, French doors, and transoms in a crisp farmhouse-style palette.

Behind the welcoming front porch is a spacious foyer with a two-story ceiling and the first glimpse into the home’s brilliant features. There are five bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms including a main-level guest suite or executive office/bonus room, formal living and dining rooms, and an all-new gourmet, eat-in kitchen.

Multiple French doors extend the living and entertaining space to an amazing outdoor venue that includes et of deck. Step down to the expansive patio, pool, and spa, a four-hole putting green and lush gardens with serene views of the oak-studding hillsides.

Picture frame molding and trim beautifully enhance the formal living room that also has a coffered ceiling, a front-facing picture window, and a gas fireplace with a marble surround and carved mantel. A formal dining room is designed to accommodate large gatherings and also has a coffered ceiling and a front-facing bay window.

Walls of windows and bands of clerestory welcome an abundance of natural light into the family room. A fireplace with a brick to-ceiling surround anchors this spacious room. Step out to the deck from this room and the adjacent casual dining area.

A pair of stylish pendant lights illuminated the oversized island/breakfast bar in the dazzling gourmet kitchen. Carrera marble countertops and a backsplash of sleek, elongated subway tile compliment the freshly painted cabinetry. A large picture window over the stainless farmhouse sink frames a scenic view. The kitchen is appointed with new stainless KitchenAid appliances, including dual ovens, dishwasher, and refrigerator, plus a gas cooktop and a GE built-in microwave. The kitchen also has a convenient, built-in workstation.

A main-level guest suite or ideal executive office has a double door entry. It features a box beam ceiling, a fireplace with a marble surround, and extensive built-in cabinetry. A French door opens to a private, covered porch with access to the pool and gardens. The en suite bathroom is updated with a marble-topped furniture style vanity and stylish fixtures.

Hardwood floors continue up the stairs and onto the landing open to the downstairs. The master bedroom features a vaulted ceiling with a French door to a private balcony overlooking the pool, gardens, and hillside. The private sitting room would also make an ideal home office, hobby room, or workout space. The master bath also has a vaulted ceiling, an oversized shower with dual rain showerheads, a jetted tub, and a dual-sink vanity with a tile countertop.  A generous-size walk-in closet is outfitted with a custom Elfa organizer system of drawers, racks, and shelves.

Three additional bedrooms include one with a vaulted ceiling and an en suite bathroom updated with a marble tile floor and a vessel sink on a marble-topped vanity. Two bedrooms share a full bathroom with a tub/shower combination.
