Exceptional opportunity to own a rustic “Old Orinda” cottage. This home boasts lots of charm with its hardwood floors and wood paneling. Tucked away on a hillside with a wooded setting. Upstairs on the main level, you will find a kitchen looking to the backyard, light and bright dining area, living room with cozy fireplace, two bedrooms, and one bath. On the lower level with a separate entrance, you will find a super cute guest room that has a bedroom, bath, and kitchenette (seller believes was added without permits, although public records shows 3 beds/2 baths). The main level also includes indoor laundry and comes equipped with forced-air heating and central air conditioning. All conveniently located near BART/Hwy 24, dining & shopping in downtown Orinda and top-rated Orinda schools! Please be careful on steps!
