A Private Cottage Retreat in Orinda
Tucked into a quiet, natural setting, this detached 1-bedroom, 1-bath cottage offers a rare combination of privacy, tranquility, and convenience.
The approximately 400-square-foot home stands completely on its own, with no shared walls. Vaulted ceilings bring an airy, open quality to the interior, while the private setting creates a welcome escape from apartment-style living.
Step outside and enjoy easy access to the Lafayette Reservoir upper trail for hiking, running, or a peaceful walk. Downtown Orinda and Lafayette, local restaurants and shops, BART, and Highway 24 are also conveniently nearby.
A wonderful choice for anyone seeking a comfortable, easy-to-maintain home in a peaceful Orinda setting.
