Tucked away in the tranquil Orinda Lost Valley, this inviting 3-bed, 2-bath + studio has thoughtfully crafted living space. Open Twilight Tues. 6-8pm. Over $220k in tasteful updates: hardwood floors, remodeled kitchen, fully renovated baths, added 3rd bedroom plus a studio. Style meets function. The open-concept layout seamlessly connects the kitchen, dining, and family room, while two separate lounge areas ensure space for everyone. It feels big, yet has room for expansion. 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 trails. It's the perfect blend of convenience and seclusion: your own private retreat. The yard is designed for year-round enjoyment and easy maintenance. 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 your own redwoods for a peaceful hammock nap. Offers due this week.
