Tucked away in the tranquil Orinda Lost Valley, this inviting 3-bed, 2-bath + studio has over 1671 sf of thoughtfully crafted living space. With >$220k in tasteful updates, from hardwoods floors, adding windows and a 3rd bedroom, to an updated kitchen, fully remodeled baths featuring natural materials and a studio to work from home. This home is both stylish and functional. The open-concept layout seamlessly connects the kitchen, dining, and family room, while two separate lounge areas ensure space for everyone. The spralling yard is designed for year-round enjoyment and easy maintenance, with spaces for entertaining or relaxation. Take in views of the hills atop the garden. Host large gatherings on the patio or stargaze from the hot tub. Tinker in the barn or unwind with a good book in the courtyard. For moments of complete tranquility, retreat to the redwoods for a peaceful hammock nap. Location is everything here - just 7 min. from downtown Orinda & Moraga, and within 2 miles of Orinda's top rated K-12 schools. Step out your backdoor for a short stroll or explore miles of rolling trails. It's the perfect blend of convenience and seclusion, offering the best of both worlds: everything you need is nearby, yet you’ll feel like you’re in your own private retreat.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
