Sleepy Hollow rancher updated and expanded. Open floor plan. The spacious living area with soaring ceilings is anchored by a huge kitchen with beaucoup storage. The large granite topped island creates the perfect spot for "everything" from informal family meals to full-on entertaining. Against a back drop of verdant vineyards and beautiful open space, three different tiers of patios offer multiple use options and spectacular views. (Check out the upper tier at sunset!) The deep hillside lot invites your personal vineyard, or perhaps an orchard or a sunny vegetable garden. Three bedrooms include a large ensuite with his and her sinks and counters in the bath, and a large walk in closet that awaits your customization. Radiant in-floor heating, classic tongue and groove ceilings in the living areas, recessed lighting throughout, brand new washer, dryer and refrigerator, a 2.5 kw solar system, two Tesla power walls. Fully fenced property. Patios surround the home. Secure access through the front gates or the 2 car garage. Very productive citrus trees adorn the front yard. Highly rated schools. Minutes to the Sleepy Hollow Swim and Tennis Club and quick access to Bear Creek recreational areas. 3 miles to Orinda Bart and freeway.
