1068 Country Club Drive

The spectacular back yard distinguishes this home from all others. The yard is both a family paradise (with a pool, spa, playhouse, putting green and firepit) and a sophisticated venue for adult entertaining (with a pavilion, under an elevated beamed ceiling, housing a first-class grill and kitchen). Mature trees surround the yard, and fruit trees adorn the premises as well: citrus, nectarine and Pink Lady apple. Balconies off the home command striking views of all this and beyond. The views in the front of the home are even better, with grand vistas of the Moraga Valley and the hillsides in the distance. The Moraga Country Club is just a mile away, and one need not take the car to get there: Pile into a golf cart for the short drive to Club fun. Inside the home, residents enjoy flour bedrooms, each with attractive views, and three bathrooms. The living room off the foyer sits under a peaked ceiling, and offers custom bookcases and a large, wood-burning fireplace with a natural wood mantel. Dine either in the kitchen's breakfast nook or in the formal dining room. Distinctive European oak hardwood stairs lead up to the bedrooms or down to the spacious family room, with another fireplace to ward off winter chill. The roof was recently replaced, and solar panels keep utility costs low.
