About this home
Beautifully refreshed and filled with natural light, this exceptional Glorietta home combines stunning Mount Diablo views, generous living spaces, and an incredible nearly half-acre Orinda setting. New engineered hardwood floors, fresh interior and exterior paint, all-new lighting, and additional recessed lighting bring a fresh, current feel throughout. From the moment you enter, soaring vaulted ceilings and expansive windows draw in natural light and showcase the surrounding hills and views. The generous and versatile floor plan was designed for both everyday living and entertaining, with two spacious living areas, a formal dining room, wet bar, and wonderful flexibility for family and guests. At the heart of the home, the expansive kitchen features a dramatic center island, abundant cabinetry, a large pantry, and a casual dining area. Direct access to the patio makes it easy to take meals and gatherings outdoors, while multiple sets of doors throughout the home create an effortless connection to the backyard. Two bedrooms on the main level offer exceptional flexibility for family and guests. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms plus a bonus room that can easily serve as a playroom, media room, nursery, office, or additional sleeping space. The spacious primary suite feels like its own private retreat, complete with dual walk-in closets, a generous bath with separate shower and tub, sauna, and an adjoining room ideal for an office, nursery, sitting room, or fitness space. Outside, the quintessential Orinda lifestyle takes center stage. A resurfaced pool and sun deck are surrounded by landscaped grounds, mature greenery, and multiple spaces to dine, entertain, and relax while enjoying beautiful Mount Diablo views. With nearly half an acre, the property offers a wonderful sense of privacy and space while still being remarkably close to everything Orinda has to offer. Ideally located in the sought-after Glorietta neighborhood near Orinda’s top-rated schools, downtown shops and restaurants, and just 1.3 miles from BART, this beautifully refreshed home offers an exceptional combination of space, flexibility, outdoor living, beautiful views, and everyday convenience—all in one of Orinda’s most desirable settings....
