This gorgeous, unique, contemporary home was custom built from the ground up in 1997. With just one owner calling it home since 1998. It has been meticulously maintained over the years. The home’s design affords stunning views over Orinda Country Club Golf Course, across to the San Pablo Upper Reservoir and out in the distance to Mt. Diablo. Off the entry is a pretty living room flanked by large windows; a perfect spot to read a book, entertain or enjoy a roaring fire in winter. There is a 1/2 bath for guests. Off the dining area you can access French doors that open to a covered, lighted dining patio and BBQ area used year round. Another set of French doors opens off the family room where you’ll find a large sitting area to relax and watch a full moon rise over Mt. Diablo or see the sun set. Large sky lights cascade natural light into several living areas of the home. The Primary Bedroom was enlarged by the owners to create a sitting area for reading or watching TV. The large ensuite owner’s bathroom has 2 custom designed walk- in closets, a soaking tub, double vanity and separate toilet room. On the same level, just down the hall, you’ll find 2 additional beautiful guest bedrooms and a full bath. A half level down is a newly updated office you’ll never want to leave when you see its views. This can also be used as a 4th bedroom. All interior doors feature Baldwin hardware. The home has custom window shades, cherry hardwood floors and recess lighting. There’s storage galore, a rarity in Orinda. The well designed kitchen has quartz counter bar seating, double ovens, an under-mount sink, and a walk-in pantry closet with custom glass shelving. Just beyond is a separate laundry area with full capacity W/D, a plethora of cabinetry and a large finished storage area. The home is very private. The hardscape walls and flagstone paths are completed with drainage, landscaped beds with irrigation, landscape lighting and specimen trees that draw magical bird life. The attached 2 car garage is fully finished with epoxy floors, storage, lighting and a surround of built-in cabinets. Equipped with fire suppression sprinklers, a Moen Pro Device, Ring perimeter cameras and dual AC units. A rare opportunity, available for the first time in 29 years.
