521 Tahos Rd, Orinda, CA 94563
What's special
Architectural appeal, peace and true convenience meet in this beautifully updated home, tucked into Orinda’s coveted Glorietta neighborhood. Behind a gate and down a long private driveway, this single-level home wraps you in walls of glass and striking design from the moment you arrive. Between the catwalk entry, light filled atrium, gabled roofline, floor to ceiling windows, metal fireplace hood and spa-like baths, there is nothing cookie-cutter about it. The flexible, open floor plan moves effortlessly from the eat-in kitchen to the airy living room, elegant dining room, cozy TV den and out to the gorgeous grounds. The private primary wing includes dual closets and a walk-in stone shower looking out to greenery. Three additional bedrooms share a separate wing, ideal for family or guests, and a large bonus room works as a playroom or gym. Steeped in nature, step outside to take in views of Mt. Diablo, garden in raised beds or float in the pool. All this, just moments from Orinda's renowned 10/10 schools, downtown shopping, Highway 24 and BART. Tranquility and true convenience come together here - see for yourself!
