Tucked in an oak-filled valley, this light-filled mid-century home has been tastefully updated and maintained, offering privacy and plenty of space as well as an indoor/outdoor lifestyle perfect for entertaining. The floorplan allows for mostly single-level living with the living room, dining room, kitchen and primary suite on the main floor, along with two additional bedrooms.
The centerpiece of the home is a glass-enclosed staircase that takes advantage of the treehouse-like setting with views of the surrounding valley. The lower level includes a spacious family room, office, full bath and guest room with access to the backyard.
The home spills out onto an upper and lower deck, leading to a private oasis with rose bushes, mature plantings, level lawn and private hot tub nook. Conveniently located near Hwy 24 and BART, this property sits near the border of Lafayette and Orinda with easy access to the Lafayette Reservoir, Orinda Country Club and Orinda schools.
