Perched on a serene El Sobrante hillside with sweeping views of rolling green hills and the valley below, 4273 Santa Rita Avenue offers a peaceful retreat from the rhythm of everyday life. Morning coffee is best enjoyed in warm sunlight accompanied by the sounds of nature, while evenings invite dining al fresco on the expansive rooftop terrace—an ideal setting to unwind or entertain. The home features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a spacious primary en-suite, and has been thoughtfully refreshed with new carpeting, new hickory hardwood flooring, updated light fixtures, rebuilt stairs, and an automatic fireplace for effortless comfort. A two-car garage adds convenience, while the large lot presents exciting potential—imagine a terraced backyard, lush garden oasis, outdoor deck, or even a future ADU (buyer to verify). Ideally located near Fitzgerald Drive, Appian Way, and Valley View, you’ll enjoy easy access to local restaurants, shopping, and neighborhood favorites—don’t miss The Good Table, the area’s newest café, workspace, and garden store. With a quick commute to Orinda BART, I-80, and nearby bus lines, this hillside haven blends tranquility with everyday accessibility.
