The home, perched on a 0.60-acre lot on a quiet cul-de-sac, looks down on the 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th holes at the Orinda Country Club. Despite the proximity to the Country Club, the home also offers exceptional privacy: Residents look down on the golfers, but the golfers cannot look up into the home. The driveway encircles mature valley oaks. From the front door the welcoming and open Great Room beckons, and that room truly is great: The area, over immaculate engineered oak hardwoods, seamlessly blends the remodeled kitchen (with exceptional Taj Mahal quartzite countertops and Wolf, SubZero, and Miele appliances); a butler’s pantry with more elite appliances; a walnut-countertop bar (with a wine refrigerator) seating at least five; an exceptional family room (under elevated beamed ceilings) that can accommodate dozens; a comfortable dining room seating guests around panels of oversized windows (with automated shades to screen the sun) commanding golf course and back yard views; and glass doors leading to the back patio.

Closet space abounds throughout. The lower level (just remodeled) features a guest suite, with a kitchenette (with Bosch refrigerator and Frigidaire range, and new quartz countertops), en-suite bath, and a cozy fireplace, all accessible through a separate entrance.

Undeveloped lots are rare in Orinda, and the City already has fully approved and permitted plans to build this 4,914 square-foot home, surveying the Orinda Country Club and the Berkeley Hills in the distance. (The approved plans, prepared by Michael Abraham Architecture, are included in the property’s disclosure packet.) The home will rest on a .87-acre parcel, just two-tenths of a mile from Miner Road as it bisects the golf course, well removed from traffic noise. The center of elegant living is certain to be the 400 square-foot great room, under a vaulted 17-foot ceiling, surrounded by oversized windows, under distinctive hardwood floors, and warmed by a fireplace encompassed by a cut stone surround. The formal living room and dining room lie to either side. Work or study from home will be easy in the adjacent office. The primary suite and two more bedrooms (all with en-suite bathrooms) are found up an open stairway from the great room. The fourth bedroom is found in a corner of the main floor, and further downstairs is the spacious guest suite. A two-car garage is on the lower level, up a gently curving driveway from Camino Don Miguel. The building plans preserved almost all of the mature oak trees on the property, with the lot assuring hillside open space to the south of the home. *Architectural renderings
