Privacy and seclusion are the hallmarks of this exquisite home, rebuilt from the studs in 2020. The home was built to exacting specifications for the owners to live in, not to sell.Relax on the charming veranda, savor views of the surrounding redwoods, oaks and pines, and await guests as they enter the flat grounds through the gated driveway from a long cul-de-sac. Enter the home through steel front doors, adorned with custom glass. Inside, the chef’s kitchen is the hub of the open entertainment area. It features four ovens, three oversized sinks and garbage disposals, two dishwashers, both gas and induction cooktops, premier high-efficiency stainless-steel range hoods, other elite appliances, and a butler’s pantry with sink, cabinets and storage. The kitchen adjoins one’s choice of three dining areas: the breakfast bar on the oversized granite kitchen island, an informal dining area seating six to eight, and the even-larger formal dining room. One also has a choice of two rooms for entertainment and conversation, each with a gas fireplace to ward off winter chill. The 330-square-foot formal living room, featuring surround sound and recessed LED lighting, is marked by openness and light and will accommodate large gatherings. The family room, on the home’s other side, features a wet bar with seating for four in addition to the spacious lounging area. A wine cellar, which doubles as the locus of the home’s sophisticated wiring, sits alongside. A wide redwood deck, with a distinctive railing, encircles the home’s living areas and offers serene views of mature trees, the terraced garden, and a murmuring creek below, along with access to a gazebo and detached playhouse.Two bedrooms, each with an en-suite bath and large walk-in closet, and one with a spacious sitting area/lounge, complete the main floor. Four other bedrooms lie up the elegant ebony oak staircase, including the remarkable principal suite. It features two walk-in closets that can accommodate the most extensive wardrobes imaginable, and an en-suite bath with a fireplace, oversized and deep spa tub, an extended double-station vanity, and distinctive engineered white oak flooring. All bathrooms feature oversized showers with distinctive floor tiling. Work or study from home is easy, because the second floor also features a spacious office, with a built-in granite desk, cabinetry, and extensive counter space. It adjoins the 315-square-foot home theater (with 86-inch television, wet bar, surround sound, and theater-style seating), which is certain to be the site for countless hours of entertainment. Completing the second floor is the exceptionally large laundry room (with two LG washers and dryers) and crafts room, conveniently located across the hall from the principal suite.Exceptional features abound, including plywood lining behind sheetrock for additional soundproofing; removable Andersen paneled windows to make washing easy; 220v central vacuuming; seven WiFi hotspots to ensure internet coverage throughout the home; extensive prewiring for electronics; energy-saving features, including seven separate zones for heating and cooling to reduce utility costs; drip irrigation in low-maintenance landscaping; exterior lighting and surveillance cameras; and an Ecobee home automation system for managing all utilities from one’s cellphone. Parking is easy in the three-car garage and adjoining parking court. One may enter the home through the front door and main foyer, or through the garage into an oversized mud room, which features still another LG washer and dryer. Storage space abounds throughout, including in a spacious bonus room under the house.The home, though secluded, is just minutes in either direction to the town centers of Orinda and Moraga. It combines serenity with easy access to the amenities of the East Bay and San Francisco.
