5 Bed | 3 Bath | 3033± Sq. Ft. | .72± Acre Lot
Redesigned and rebuilt in 2019, this single-level, 5-bedroom Glorietta home boasts a sleek design with high-end finishes, modern amenities, high ceilings, and a functional layout that prioritizes privacy. Designed by local architect, Amy Wong Nunes with Sunnyhills Studio, the interiors are finished with custom light fixtures, Heath tile and white oak flooring throughout, offering a warm and inviting feel with a sophisticated touch.
The kitchen and bathrooms are fitted with custom rift oak cabinetry, quartzite counters, and equipped with top-of-the-line appliances to meet your culinary and lifestyle needs. Wine enthusiasts can showcase their collection with a glass-doored, 500+ bottle wine cellar with temperature control. The spacious primary suite connects to an optional 5th bedroom that could also function as a nursery, private office, home gym or bonus space. The rebuild also included a newly poured foundation with piers to bedrock.
In addition to its beautiful interiors, professional landscaping by sought-after Landscape Architect, David Thorne, enhances the exterior of the house and provides a tranquil outdoor living space for entertaining or simply relaxing. Steps lead down to a flat, lower area, with endless possibilities to take advantage of the .72 acre lot.
Located on an oak-studded hilltop in Orinda’s Glorietta neighborhood, the home is just minutes from Glorietta Elementary School, Miramonte High school, downtown Orinda, Hwy 24, Bart, and only 16 miles from San Francisco
