Available for rent September 1.
Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on a half-acre lot, this beautifully updated two-story Craftsman offers a rare combination of privacy, space, and character.
With 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and over 3,300 square feet of living space, the home blends classic architectural details with thoughtful modern upgrades. Inside, you'll find raised ceilings, custom millwork, and expansive windows that fill the space with natural light. The kitchen features high-end cabinetry and opens to a casual dining area and spacious family room ideal for everyday living and entertaining.
Upstairs, three large bedrooms with maple floors offer scenic views, including a glimpse of Mt. Diablo. The primary suite includes vaulted ceilings and an attached office with a fireplace, built-in desk, and serene views of the backyard. A main-floor guest bedroom with a separate entrance and full bath offers additional flexibility.
Outside, the landscaped yard feels like a private garden complete with mature fruit trees, olive trees, Japanese maples, winding paths, and multiple seating areas. A solarium, patio, lawn, and built-in pizza oven make the outdoor space as functional as it is beautiful.
Additional highlights include a 3-car garage, rooftop solar, a wood-burning stove, and close proximity to downtown Orinda, BART, and Highway 24.
