Quintessential Tahos contemporary, beautifully cared for and updated by long time owners. Enter to sweeping views of Mt Diablo captured by a wall of floor to ceiling windows and vaulted ceilings. A large updated kitchen with breakfast area has tons of storage including a butlers pantry with stained glass cabinet doors. The three bedrooms, including a larger master suite, also capture the gorgeous views. Downstairs is the fourth bedroom with Murphy bed and in-law set up, including third bath, and large family room. The crowning glory of this property is the .59 acre lot with patios, lawn area, beautiful pool and artists studio. Peaceful and private yet blocks to the freeway and downtown Orinda. Wonderful home not to be missed!
