Rich in historic interest and the fine craftsmanship of yesteryear, this 1938 home in Orinda has been lovingly tended to and nurtured into a modern day classic. It was just after the first two bores of the Caldecott Tunnel opened in 1937— to a lot of pomp and circumstance— that many of the first homes in Orinda were being built. The tunnel more easily connected the city dwellers with the rural country life, and the development of many of the first subdivisions took place. We welcome you to 33 Southwood Drive. Step into timeless elegance with this meticulously maintained 1938 Orinda home basking in southern exposure that bathes every corner with natural light, and conveniently located next to town and minutes to BART. With over 3,500 square feet and situated in a park-like setting.
