物件特色
Surrounded by trees and the hillsides of Contra Costa County, Orinda has a semi-rural community and family-friendly atmosphere with a population of just over 17,000. Labeled by Forbes as one of the friendliest towns in America, Orinda is known for its excellent schools, excellent weather, and relaxed, gracious pace of life.
Orinda’s charming downtown shopping district is home to boutiques, dining, and entertainment venues. The renovated, Art Deco-styled Orinda Theater, in the heart of Orinda Theatre Square, is home to the California Independent Film Festival along with theatrical performances, comedy shows, and other cultural events. The internationally known California Shakespeare Theater, located in Bruns Memorial Amphitheater, performs from June to October each year delighting all with stellar performances in a beautiful outdoor setting.
Many suburban professionals choose to call Orinda home drawn by its many amenities and easy commute to the nearby business centers of downtown Oakland, Walnut Creek and San Francisco.
Undeveloped lots are rare in Orinda, and the City already has fully approved and permitted plans to build this 4,914 square-foot home, surveying the Orinda Country Club and the Berkeley Hills in the distance. (The approved plans, prepared by Michael Abraham Architecture, are included in the property’s disclosure packet.) The home will rest on a .87-acre parcel, just two-tenths of a mile from Miner Road as it bisects the golf course, well removed from traffic noise. The center of elegant living is certain to be the 400 square-foot great room, under a vaulted 17-foot ceiling, surrounded by oversized windows, under distinctive hardwood floors, and warmed by a fireplace encompassed by a cut stone surround. The formal living room and dining room lie to either side. Work or study from home will be easy in the adjacent office. The primary suite and two more bedrooms (all with en-suite bathrooms) are found up an open stairway from the great room. The fourth bedroom is found in a corner of the main floor, and further downstairs is the spacious guest suite. A two-car garage is on the lower level, up a gently curving driveway from Camino Don Miguel. The building plans preserved almost all of the mature oak trees on the property, with the lot assuring hillside open space to the south of the home.
