This home offers indoor-outdoor living midway between Orinda’s downtown and top schools. Enter the foyer under a 20-foot ceiling. French doors open to the new, low-maintenance entertainment area outside. A pergola covers the outdoor dining area. Adjoining that is the elite grill, water feature and firepit. Inside, the kitchen features top appliances, silestone countertops and a breakfast nook. Alongside is a stylish lounge, and white oak floors grace the premises. The dining room, with ample seating, adjoins the kitchen. Distinctive light fixtures and elevated ceilings are found throughout. The 4 bedrooms span both floors. The principal suite is at the top of the stairs, featuring recessed lighting; a large walk-in closet; and an en-suite bath, with tub, oversized shower and dual sinks. Two other bedrooms, with a jack-and-jill bath, also are upstairs. The laundry area sits among the upstairs bedrooms. The 4th bedroom, downstairs, is a perfect guest room, with an en-suite bath and its own entrance to the outside. Manicured plants and trees surround the grounds. The garage (with EV charger) and circular driveway provide ample parking. Kids have easy access to buses to award-winning schools. Nearby Moraga Way leads quickly to the 24 freeway.
