This lovely entertainer’s home, extensively remodeled in 2019, commands the finest golf course view in the East Bay. The home, perched on a 0.60-acre lot on a quiet cul-de-sac, looks down on the 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th holes at the Orinda Country Club. Despite the proximity to the Country Club, the home also offers exceptional privacy: Residents look down on the golfers, but the golfers cannot look up into the home.

The driveway encircles mature valley oaks. From the front door the welcoming and open Great Room beckons, and that room truly is great: The area, over immaculate engineered oak hardwoods, seamlessly blends the remodeled kitchen (with exceptional Taj Mahal quartzite countertops and Wolf, SubZero, and Miele appliances); a butler’s pantry with more elite appliances; a walnut-countertop bar (with a wine refrigerator) seating at least five; an exceptional family room (under elevated beamed ceilings) that can accommodate dozens; a comfortable dining room seating guests around panels of oversized windows (with automated shades to screen the sun) commanding golf course and back yard views; and glass doors leading to the back patio. A spacious powder room and comfortable office and storage area sit adjacent.

The back yard offers distinct areas for socializing. A firepit keeps friends and guests warm even on chilly nights. A gazebo provides seating with views of the golf course in one direction and the swimming pool and waterfall feature in the other. The garden area to the side, featuring both flowers and vegetables, offers quiet solitude and both sun and shade. And the deck and patio areas provide plenty of space for large outdoor gatherings, including sit-down al fresco dining.

Four bedrooms lie on the main floor. The principal suite, under coffered ceilings and warmed with a fireplace, overlooks all four golf holes, with exceptional rooms adjoining. Two huge closets, with built-in hanging and organizational systems, accommodate wardrobes of any size. The principal bathroom offers aroma therapy, a steam shower equipped with top fixtures, and a stand-alone Bain Ultra bathtub surrounded by large windows high above the yard and golf course. Three other bedrooms and two bathrooms lie at the other end of the home, each with garden views, and one – a second primary suite – with pool and golf course views, a sitting room/nursery, patio access, and a fireplace. Closet space abounds throughout.

The lower level (just remodeled) features a guest suite, with a kitchenette (with Bosch refrigerator and Frigidaire range, and new quartz countertops), en-suite bath, and a cozy fireplace, all accessible through a separate entrance.

The home’s roof was replaced in 2019, and a three-car garage and circular driveway easily accommodate parking for residents and guests. As a cul-de-sac, El Sueño has minimal traffic, and the other homes on it contribute to the area’s beauty.

This home has had only four owners in its lifetime, and a visit to the home readily explains why. The home is ready to welcome the fifth.
