Charming single level updated home nestled in the oak trees next to parks and open space in Orinda's Upper El Toyonal. The living spaces open onto a massive deck where you can enjoy sun-dappled lounging and peaceful outdoor dining. Level-in access and an established garden grace the front entry. The house has been updated with new kitchen counters, appliances, floors, updated lighting, paint and mechanical systems. There are 2 en-suite bedrooms plus 3 other bedrooms. The bedroom opposite the living room would make a great family room or library with its built-in shelving. Below the garage is a huge bonus space perfect for a game room, large home office, music studio, wine cellar or potential ADU. Located where El Toyonal becomes a dead end road and the hill levels out and where those in the know walk and enjoy expansive views of the East Bay. Only 1 mile to Grizzly Peak with easy access to Hwy 24, Berkeley and Oakland plus downtown Orinda, Award Winning Schools and BART.
