The showstopper of this home is the large .56-acre property w/ an expansive backyard. You won't see many yards like this in Orinda. The majestic oaks offer a perfect backdrop to the pool, hot tub, fire pit, outdoor kitchen, flat yard & cottage with a surrounding deck. The location of the home can't be beat!
