131 Canon Drive, Orinda — SOLD: $1,615,000

Celebrate a classic Mid-Century Modern design originally built in the 60s and recently remodeled to showcase 21st-century features in a spectacular open floor plan drenched in natural light. Rooms effortlessly flow to inviting outdoor spaces on wrap-around decks, and fabulous extensions of the living space that is both private and picturesque among the mature oaks that grace the almost half-acre property.

Updated with a meticulous attention to detail, the more than 2,000 square feet of living space on two levels features three bedrooms and two and a half baths, including a main-level master suite with a private terrace. The expanded lower level has two additional bedrooms, a redesigned bathroom, and an open, flexible space ideal for an office, media/game room.  

A wall of windows echo the pitch of the vaulted, exposed wood ceiling in the living room, creating a dramatic indoor/outdoor feel and fantastic view.

Custom-designed Euro-style wood cabinetry wraps around the redesigned gourmet kitchen well appointed with quartz counters and a waterfall island/breakfast bar, decorative porcelain tile backsplash showcased with beautiful lighting, and custom-finished professional-grade appliances. The adjoining dining room is warmed by a gas fireplace with a custom tile surround and has a slider to a front-facing deck. 

The exclusive Orinda Park neighborhood, just off El Toyonel, is within a mile and a half to the Orinda Village, BART, and access to Highway 24 or a half-mile walk to Safeway, Starbucks, the library and the community center. Relish the small-town ambiance and tranquility of this East Bay city known for its natural beauty, surrounding open space, historic country club, and award-winning schools. Located just east of the Caldecott Tunnel, Orinda is less than 20 miles from downtown San Francisco.
