The authentic charm of this 1930s Orinda estate is unparalleled. The updated finishes make this home truly one of a kind. 24 Orchard Road is perfectly located within minutes of 12 years of Orinda’s top rated schools, and walking distance to downtown Orinda and BART. This Santa Barbara style home is located on one of the best streets in Orinda. This estate is a breathtaking property, boasting a secluded saltwater pool and hot tub. Family and friends will enjoy the custom designed bocce ball court, basketball hoop, and rope swing. There is something for everyone: raised planter beds for the green thumb, an outdoor playhouse, and a top of the line built-in barbecue for the family chief. A personal creek access provides a beautiful retreat. A live oak, estimated at 200 years old, this magnificent native wonder lies at the center of the yard. It is accompanied by numerous other beautiful old trees. All this natural beauty provides a gentle shaded canopy.
