Set on a 1.39 acre lot amongst beautiful coastal oaks and madrones lies this lovingly remodeled 1928 home. This exceptional and private hideaway has great outdoor entertaining areas, a vineyard, and views! As you enter the home you are greeted by a grand living room built of solid redwood with vaulted ceilings and a wall of windows leading to the deck, making indoor/outdoor entertaining a breeze. The remodeled kitchen is a chef’s dream with stainless steel appliances and marble countertops. Each bedroom offers scenic views of the mature greenery and trees. A remote office lays above the creek offering serenity and solitude. The vineyard, which was planted in 2018, is producing Syrah and Zinfandel wine. You’ll feel like you’re away from it all when you’re at this home, yet you’re only minutes to downtown Orinda and BART. This remarkable private hideaway is not to be missed!
