Set on half an acre in a quiet court surrounded by towering oaks, this updated ranch offers the essence of Orinda living—sophisticated, serene, filled with natural light, and just minutes from shopping and cafes. Vaulted beamed ceilings add character and warmth to this inviting retreat. Enter through a tall foyer into an open-plan dining room, living room, and kitchen, with expansive windows and glass doors on all sides. Every view is to the trees, and sky–enchanting. The interiors have all been thoughtfully updated to preserve a midcentury feel while allowing for modern luxuries like the chef’s kitchen with double Dacor ovens, Sub-Zero fridge, and endless cabinetry for storage. The four bedrooms have ample space and the same green views, while the primary boasts an en-suite bath with marble tiling, oversize shower, and double sinks. The outdoor space, similarly, is intoxicating. A huge patio, perfect for entertaining, adjoins a lawn and the terraced garden level beyond, where the heritage oaks, native grasses, and flowering plants grow as far as the eye can see.
