  Gated estate with circular driveway, pool/spa, lawn, loggia, veggie beds -- one block from downtown Orinda.

Spectacular gated estate features a 3000+ sf Tudor-style home that's just one block from downtown Orinda. Set back from the street with a circular driveway, this 4br/3ba home sits on two-thirds of an acre with gorgeous mature landscaping, two flat lawn areas, pool/spa and complete privacy with views of oaks and other trees. The main living room is the star of the show with soaring cathedral ceilings, a stone fireplace and a large picture window. You can eat in the formal dining room or head through French doors to the flagstone terrace for al fresco dining. The classic kitchen looks over the lawn area and has a Wolf range, stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms are on the main levels. On the lower level, there is an oversized bedroom/family room, walk-in closet and bathroom. Don't miss the large pool, spa, natural fountain and koi pond! The attached garage and driveway provide parking for 6+ cars. Built in 1939, this home has only had 3 owners and has the perfect blend of serenity and privacy along with a convenient location less than a block from downtown Orinda and less than a half mile from BART. What's not to love?
