A sensational Orinda Oaks estate masterfully crafted by Signature Development Group and enhanced with approx. $1.8 million in exceptional amenities elevates this home to a new level of comfortable luxury.
Located at the end of the cul-de-sac among the enclave of a dozen custom homes, this 2.3-acre estate showcases uncompromising quality in the picturesque hillside neighborhood with inspiring 180-degree East-facing views encompassing Mt. Diablo and the Las Trampas Ridgeline.
Approximately 5,160 square feet of living space includes the addition of an approximately 1,000-square-foot studio apartment with a private staircase access and outdoor entry. This fabulous bonus room space has a vaulted ceiling, windows on three sides with blackout shades, a microwave and refrigerator, a full bathroom, white oak flooring, and custom built-ins, including workstations and a Murphy bed.
In addition to the studio is an open and light-drenched floorplan that includes five bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, formal living and dining rooms, a fabulous chef’s kitchen open to a casual dining area and a sizeable family room, and a main-level executive office/fifth en suite bedroom.
Step into a world of luxurious finishes that combines a sleek contemporary freshness with timeless features from richly stained hardwood floors, custom wall paint colors, high ceilings, and crown molding to walls of windows framing the amazing views, generously sized rooms, and a seamless flow to the Peter Koenig-designed outdoor venues and gardens.
The home has also been enhanced with the addition of solar panels and battery backup, automated shades in many rooms, fresh interior paint, and custom Elfa closet organizers.
The ultra-private park-like grounds illuminated in custom lighting have also been designed for entertaining and fun in the sun with a Paragon pool and spa with an automated cover, an outdoor shower, gas fire pit, a sound system, synthetic turf, and raised garden beds. Multiple venues, including a spacious loggia off the living room and a covered pergola patio off the family room, are inviting locations for al fresco dining and gathering with family and friends. An indoor sauna is ideally located with easy access to the backyard.
