52 Las Cascadas is a magical retreat in the heart of the Country Club neighborhood of Orinda. This Swiss Family Robinson-style home was crafted over many years by the most recent owner, an airline pilot who received inspiration from his world travels for the construction of this house. It occupies a serene forested glade, yet is only minutes from transportation, shopping, and top-rated Orinda schools. The entry level consists of two bedrooms and a compartmented bathroom with a unique rock wall shower, as well as laundry room. The upper level has a living room, dining room, kitchen, and family room, all open to one another and all with pastoral views of the surrounding trees. There is a full bathroom on this level as well, also with a rock-walled shower. The dramatic vaulted wood-beamed ceiling contributes to the delightful tree-house feel of this home. The kitchen has been updated, with slate flooring and modern appliances including Kitchenaid dishwasher and GE Profile range. There is a wonderful indoor/outdoor flow, with sliding doors opening to balconies and secluded deck. Downstairs, with its own private entrance, is a sunny one bedroom apartment. The living room is open to the updated kitchen, with custom cabinetry, Dacor oven and Frigidaire cooktop. The bedroom has a sliding door to the patio. The compartmented bathroom features a jetted tub and shower, as well as a laundry area with Tromm combination washer/dryer. In addition to the multiple decks and patios, there are walking paths leading into the trees. This is a truly one-of-a-kind property that fuels the imagination. Ideal for an artist or anyone with an artistic soul, it is truly a home to be cherished.
