What's special
Mid century magic, high style and convenience meet in this sophisticated 4BR, 2.5BA retreat, tucked into a peaceful setting in Orinda's coveted Glorietta neighborhood. Set behind a gate and down a private driveway, this level, light-filled home wraps you in walls of glass and MCM design elements that give every room its own quiet elegance. The open floor plan moves effortlessly from formal dining to eat-in kitchen to open living room to TV den to distinctive outdoor areas. Flexible spaces are ready for play, work, or guests. The primary suite occupies its own private wing, complete with a spa-inspired bath and walk-in stone shower, while three additional bedrooms share a second wing and bath ideal for family or guests. Outside, take in views of Mt. Diablo, garden in raised beds, float in the pool, or simply soak in the serenity of a most peaceful setting. All this, just moments from top schools, Highway 24, downtown, and BART. The property offers the hard to find combination of tranquility and true convenience.
