97 Oak Road Orinda CA 94563

Perched on a hill, with valley and hillside views in every direction, this home offers indoor-outdoor living midway between Orinda’s downtown and Orinda Intermediate School/Miramonte High.

Enter the foyer under a soaring 20-foot ceiling (with skylight). A comfortable living room sits alongside, and French doors ahead beckon one to the entertainment area outside. A louvered pergola covers the outdoor dining area. Adjoining that is the elite outdoor grill, surrounded by ample counter space and a television to watch sports or news; the soothing water feature; the firepit, around which residents and guests can look off to the valley and hillsides to the east and enjoy cheery morning sun; and a vegetable garden (now featuring tomatoes). The back yard is almost entirely new, with approximately $100,000 in improvements that make it nearly maintenance-free.

The principal living area is just inside. The kitchen features Viking and other elite appliances, silestone countertops and an island, and a breakfast nook seating six. The adjacent family room features a fireplace to ward off winter chill. Alongside is a stylish lounge and bar, with more inviting views to the east. The dining room adjoins the kitchen, with ample seating. Distinctive light fixtures and elevated ceilings are found throughout, and white oak floors grace the premises throughout. The home was completely updated in 2017-18 with numerous upgrades from the original construction.

The four bedrooms span both floors. The principal suite is at the top of the stairs, featuring recessed lighting; a large walk-in closet; and an en-suite bathroom with a stand-alone tub, oversized shower with elite fixtures, and dual sinks. Two other bedrooms, with a jack-and-jill bathroom (with dual sinks) between them, also are on the upstairs floor. The laundry area is conveniently located among the three upstairs bedrooms. The fourth bedroom, with an en-suite bathroom, is downstairs with its own entrance to the outside; it is a perfect guest room.

Oaks, strawberry trees, plums, olives, evergreen laurels, and other manicured plants and trees surround the grounds. The recently redesigned front yard is low-maintenance, water-conscious, and fire-compliant. Recent structural upgrades include a new French drain, a foundation retrofit, and a solar-ready brand-new roof.

Parking is easy in the garage (which is equipped with a high-speed EV charger) and circular driveway approaching it, but a hallmark of the property is the ability not to drive or park at all. Quiet, wide streets characterize the neighborhood. Schoolkids have ready access to buses serving the award-winning elementary school, intermediate school, and high school, and it’s a pleasant walk to downtown Orinda and BART. If one must drive, nearby Moraga Road offers ready access to BART and the 24 freeway, and from there to Walnut Creek or San Francisco.
