About this home
Built in 1936 and offered for the first time in 50 years, this exceptionally remodeled Monterey Colonial Revival is set on a knoll along a quiet cul-de-sac, surrounded by nearly an acre of mature oaks, conifers, a stately redwood, white roses and topiaries. The gently curving drive leads through an entry gate to a brick terrace and motor court. Throughout the property, decks, balconies, patios and stone paths create a gracious connection between the home and its remarkable setting, with treetop views toward the Orinda Country Club and the surrounding hills.
The main level offers generous spaces for both formal and casual entertaining. The nearly 400-square-foot living room, centered around a wood-burning fireplace, opens through multiple French doors to a spacious deck overlooking the pool, tree canopy and gardens below. The formal dining room features original wood paneling and millwork and connects to the former butler’s pantry, furnished with leaded glass cabinetry and a wine refrigerator. The remodeled kitchen blends architectural character—including a Delft tile backsplash—with poured-concrete countertops, a large Carrara marble center island and buffet with modern conveniences such as a Viking range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Miele dishwasher and walk-in pantry. A bay window breakfast nook overlooks the brick entry terrace, while refinished hardwood floors extend throughout the main level.
Indoor and outdoor gathering spaces abound. A family room is located on the main floor, while downstairs a 432-square-foot recreation/game room with adjacent wet bar provides additional space for entertaining. Beyond, the swimming pool and pool house are framed by cypress and mature landscaping, with patios and sitting areas tucked throughout the grounds. A naturally cooled wine cellar is nearby.
Two stairways, one in each wing of the house, lead to three spacious en-suite bedrooms upstairs. The primary suite, illuminated by skylights, includes three walk-in closets, a dressing area, sunroom and private sitting room. The two additional upstairs bedrooms are nearly as large, with renovated en-suite bathrooms. French doors from each upstairs bedroom open onto a balcony, including a private balcony for one bedroom. Two additional bedrooms are downstairs; one has a separate entrance and is particularly well suited for guests or an au pair. All of the home’s bathrooms have been thoughtfully renovated with modern finishes and conveniences.
The original wood-paneled library, with its handsome millwork and wood-burning fireplace, creates an inviting home office or retreat. A covered deck just outside faces southeast to capture the morning sun. Throughout the house, French doors, decks and balconies draw the eye outward into nature, giving the interiors a sense of being among the trees.
A separate three-car garage and adjoining motor court provide ample parking. The property is just a short drive down the hill to downtown Orinda and BART....
