The heart of this home lies in the light-filled kitchen and family room.

Adjacent, the family room, with a wood-burning fireplace and raised hearth, custom built-in, is a cozy place to relax or entertain. Through the large slider, there is easy access to the gorgeous gardens: large flagstone patio offering dining and lounging spaces, built-in BBQ with counter space, mature plantings, lovely window boxes, beautiful bird bath; a beautiful area to entertain, or a quiet spot to relax.

The bedroom wing offers a generously sized primary suite tucked away for privacy!

The fabulous landscaped gardens surround the property. The large flagstone patio and upper patio with an adorable playhouse offer space to play, entertain, and relax. The property includes land beyond and offers an orchard-like setting: many redwoods, fruit trees, and an area to explore! This garden is a true sanctuary, offering a serene escape just steps from your door.

This wonderful home is within walking distance of Orinda shops, restaurants, BART, major commuter routes, and hiking/walking trails. This home is an exquisite retreat that harmonizes with nature, offering a private sanctuary and a sense of community.
