Description
A-Frame Escape in the Orinda Hills - Set on a 0.55-acre wooded lot in the Orinda hills, this chalet-style A-frame is close to downtown Orinda and BART, with a private setting that feels far removed from it all. Open beam ceilings and walls of windows bring natural light into the living and dining areas and frame views of the surrounding hills and trees. A balcony off the living room offers a quiet spot to start or end the day, and a terraced patio built into the hillside adds another spot to relax or entertain outdoors. The main level offers two bedrooms and a full hall bath, with two more bedrooms and a full hall bath upstairs, along with a loft overlooking the living room below. Both bathrooms have been renovated. Additional features include hardwood floors and an attached two-car garage. A unique home in a setting that's hard to find this close to town.
