Less than five minutes to town, BART, and Glorietta School, this single-level home rests on an amazing .44-acre lot across the street from the neighborhood’s elite address: Catherine Court. Enter past a mature garden featuring a grass yard and maple trees. Inside, the home offers a thoughtful floor plan, light-filled living spaces, and glorious views of the valley below and hillsides above. The spacious living room sits under a vaulted beamed ceiling, with a wood-burning fireplace. The picture window and French doors invite you to the deck and grassy back yard beyond. The spacious family room (with another wood-burning fireplace) and updated kitchen (with a skylight, custom cabinets, stone countertops, and stainless-steel appliances) will be the center of home activity. The windows and glass doors there draw in the natural sunlight. Work or study from home is easy in the separate office space behind the garage, with privacy and more hillside views. The open back yard offers a large deck, meandering gravel pathways, a firepit, gardens, a gazebo, and a play area (with space to add a swimming pool if desired, and hook-ups to add a hot tub). The yard provides the perfect setting to take in and enjoy the best views of the Orinda hills and majestic evening sun.
