This historic Spanish Casita built in 1934 is a neighborhood charm. Rumor has it that the home was built by the production studio for actor Johnny Weissmuller, the original Tarzan, as his cherished summer home. Nestled in the lush, tree-covered Oak Springs neighborhood, this captivating residence boasts a brand-new foundation and a wealth of classic charm. With 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, this home exudes character with arched windows, a formal dining room adorned with crown molding, and a living room featuring an open beamed ceiling, gas insert fireplace and hardwood floors. The modern kitchen offers updated amenities, blending seamlessly with the home's timeless appeal. Additional amenities include brand-new patio concrete and retaining walls, an extra-large storage area, EV hookup, and a newer sewer system installed in 2019. Immerse yourself in the tranquil, wooded hideaway surrounding this generously sized lot, & enjoy the proximity to the historic Oak Springs Pool where Weissmuller is said to have swam as an Olympian. Conveniently located near downtown Orinda Village, Orinda BART and HWY 24 ramps, this peaceful retreat offers an easy trip to Walnut Creek or San Francisco. Discover the perfect blend of history and modern comfort at this iconic Orinda residence.
