With sweeping views of the Contra Costa hills, this elegantly dramatic 3+BD/4BA modern home with freestanding ADU offers an extraordinary California lifestyle minutes from downtown Orinda. From the moment you step into the 3179 sq ft home, you’re immersed in luxury and comfort. The foyer’s cathedral ceiling, glass staircase, statement light fixture, and multitude of windows make for a dramatic and sunny welcome. 

Hardwood floors span into the great room with a magnificent kitchen, living area with fireplace, and spacious dining area with garden/hillside views and French doors leading to a patio for indoor/outdoor living. The kitchen is a chef’s dream that maintains a sophisticated, modern aesthetic boasting two islands with limestone counters, two Miele ovens, two sinks, two Sub-Zero refrigerator sections, a Miele stove, and enough cabinetry to store all of your small appliances. A Bubinga waterfall veneer discreetly covers the top-of-the-line refrigerators and Miele cappuccino maker. 

Open the French doors onto the patio which enjoys plenty of room for entertaining, relaxation, or play, offering a built-in gas grill, terraced maintenance free turf areas, and steps up to an expansive rose garden with scores of varieties. Follow the steps higher through the lush landscaping of fruit trees including ​​apricot, persimmon and plum, California oaks, and flowering shrubs, and you’ll find the ADU that’s perfect for a home office, guest house, or artist’s studio with its beautiful beamed ceiling and full bath.

Back inside, a full bath and giant den also sit on the first floor. Surrounded with gorgeous shelving, the den is ready for your books and treasures while you sit before the fire or watch TV. Two sets of French doors offer access either to the patio or to another patio area surrounded by the home’s English garden with a fabulous dry sauna for relaxing after a hard day’s work. 

One of the home’s three bedrooms has an en-suite bath, another could also be a great office, and the luxurious primary suite is not to be missed. Light and airy from abundant windows with picture perfect views, the huge suite opens with a sitting area to your right. It’s a cozy place to read a book in front of the gas fireplace while enjoying the view of the hills. Meanwhile the grand spa-like split bath boasts a dressing area, a double vanity, a soaking tub, and an opulent double shower. With two closets, including a modular walk-in, and a laundry chute to the laundry room on the first floor, organizing your things is easy. Finally, enjoy your gardens through the French doors leading to a deck that overlooks the patio below and connects to a floating bridge over to the terraced garden.

You’re also only minutes away from all the dining, shopping, and entertaining of Orinda Village, and with a 3-car garage, BART and Highway 24 nearby, your commute options are many.
