Nestled in the hills of north-east Orinda on a short quiet street, this special place is seldom available. The last renter of this house stayed there happily for 15 years and is available to tell you about it and recommend the landlord. On the entrance level are three bedrooms and two full baths, one connected to the largest bedroom. Next to the kitchen is a 25-foot-long dining/family room, and around the corner is a spacious living room with fireplace and doors onto 10x20' covered deck. Down the stairs off the deck is the entry to the lower level. It contains a bedroom with walk-in closet, bathroom, laundry area, workshop and storage space. This lower level could be used for a teen suite, au pair or home office. The yard can be low maintenance or a gardener’s dream, with fruit trees and room to grow your own veggies if you like. All windows look out on trees yet let in plenty of light, and distant hills can be seen out the back.
Orinda's public schools are justly famous for quality programs, and many day care and private schools are nearby. Please inquire.
Note: The two-car garage and use of the laundry area are shared with a tenant in an apartment beneath the garage (a separate building at street level). He has lived there 17 years, and has proved himself to be a good neighbor.
