House buy in Orinda California

53 Oakwood Road is a stunning California contemporary serenely located at the end of a quiet road with no through traffic. It was designed by Alan Page and completed with diligence by Bay Vista Development in 2015. The house features dramatic vaulted ceilings, custom oversized doors, wide hallways, and sweeping windows & sliders to amplify the beautiful natural light. Paneled beam ceilings, wide plank white oak floors, and an open floor plan compliment the serene setting perfect for families and entertaining! An elegant chef's kitchen opens to the living room and offers a suite of Miele appliances including a 6-burner gas range, wine fridge and a hefty quartz topped island. Around the corner, a formal living room opens to a balcony with a fireplace along with a dining room awaiting your next dinner party. Downstairs, a large family room beckons the next Pixar marathon! For sleeping, a lavish master suite sits quietly away from the other bedrooms on the main level with a spa-like bathroom with a Bain Ultra jetted tub and walk-in closet & shower. The other bedrooms including one en-suite are located on the lower level. There are full sized laundry rooms on each level complete with washers and dryers. The landscaping was designed Peter Koenig and combines natural geography, Connecticut bluestone patios, ipe decks and field turf for enjoying the great outdoors. The yard acts as a giant playground - a central firepit & built-in bbq for the adults and a trampoline, zip line, swing and play structure for the children. For visitors or a perfect office, there is a guest house with a full bathroom and a stacking glass door. The property is located in the heralded public school district for Glorietta elementary, Orinda intermediate and Miramonte high schools. It is a mile from Orinda Village, Theater Square and BART and San Francisco is just 16 miles away.
