Tucked behind a stately gated entrance, this exceptional single-story estate offers a rare combination of privacy, serenity, and everyday convenience. Set on nearly one lush acre, the property has a distinctly Carmel-like vibe, with mature trees, established landscaping, and a sense of peaceful seclusion that makes you feel worlds away. The 2,552± sq. ft. residence welcomes you with vaulted ceilings, rich hardwood flooring, abundant natural light, and a thoughtfully designed floor plan that sets this home apart. One of the home's most distinctive features is its versatile split-wing layout, designed to provide flexibility for today's evolving lifestyles. A private primary bedroom retreat with its own separate entrance offers endless possibilities, ideal for multigenerational living, extended guests, a private home office, or potential Junior ADU opportunity. On the opposite wing, the additional bedrooms, including a secondary primary suite, provide peaceful separation while maintaining privacy for family and visitors alike. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen is designed for gathering, featuring a Wolf gas range, built-in professional refrigerator, premium stainless steel appliances, generous counter space, and beautiful views through the home's stunning central atrium. Filled with natural light, the atrium creates a seamless connection to the outdoors while serving as a striking architectural focal point. Just beyond, an inviting wet bar makes entertaining both elegant and effortless. Outdoors, the setting is truly special. Lush, mature landscaping envelops the property in greenery and privacy, creating a serene backyard sanctuary with spaces to gather, unwind, garden, entertain, or simply enjoy the quiet beauty of the surroundings. Perfectly positioned just moments from Orinda Oaks Park and minutes from Downtown Orinda's charming Village District, the home offers easy access to boutique shopping, restaurants, cafés, the historic Orinda Theatre, and BART. For those commuting from San Francisco or simply seeking an escape from the pace of the city, this location offers an exceptional opportunity to come home to the calm, natural beauty and relaxed lifestyle Orinda is known for. A rare blend of privacy, space, and convenience, this is more than a home, it's a place to slow down, entertain with ease, and enjoy your own private sanctuary while remaining connected to everything the Bay Area has to offer.
