Here is the opportunity you have been waiting for. Come see this large Orinda home with sweeping views of the hills from floor-to-ceiling windows in the Great Room and Kitchen. The views are even better when stepping onto the extensive rear decks of this property and these decks lead down to a private pool and rugged back yard. The courtyard entry walks directly into a formal living and dining area which features hardwood flooring, and a brick fireplace. The primary suite encompasses the entire lower level of the home and features a sunken shower you may remember forever. This beautiful home needs an owner who is willing to take on the task of updating, improving and making this home as amazing as the views. Don't miss this one!
