Description

Rare opportunity to own a piece of Orinda history. Set on nearly half an acre of beautifully mature landscaping, this classic 1948 home has been lovingly held by the same family for over six decades and it's ready for its next chapter. With 2,261 sq ft of living space across 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, the layout offers genuine bones, hardwood floors, and generous proportions. The kitchen is appointed with high-end appliances, and sweeping hill views frame the property beautifully. The expansive lot provides the privacy and outdoor space that simply don't exist in newer developments. The 2-car garage, established grounds, and coveted location within one of Orinda's most desirable neighborhoods round out a property with real staying power. Comprehensive inspection reports are available through disclosures and buyers are encouraged to review and come prepared. Priced to reflect the opportunity to update, repair and personalize, this is a chance to secure a property of rare character in a prime school district community, then make it entirely your own. No open houses will be held. Please park in the home's driveway or along the front of the property. Kindly do not use neighboring driveways or yards. Homes like this don't come to market often. When they do, they don't last.
