Orinda - Beach Property For Sale #5262402

Undeveloped lots are rare in Orinda, and the City already has approved 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.
