Features
Available for the first time in more than 45 years, this stunning 4.44 acre estate is nestled in the hills of Moraga, up a secluded private drive, with panoramic views of the lush surrounding hillsides and nearby San Leandro reservoir. The private drive winds through verdant natural landscape, past an open knoll perfect for a barn or stables, up toward a second landing with a rustic storage shed and unfolds at the top to a spacious driveway with parking for five cars. One garage is completely finished and ready for all your storage needs!
The path from the drive leads along a colorful pathway to a wrap-around deck, showcasing the breathtaking views. A grand double-door entry welcomes you into the generous open floor plan of the living and dining rooms, set along banks of floor to ceiling windows and sliders, for a true indoor/outdoor living experience. Just off the living room is a cozy den centered around a brick fireplace and marble flooring with its own patio overlooking the open space.
With lots of natural light and a generous center island, the kitchen is a chef’s dream! Double stoves and ovens make things ultra efficient and a breakfast nook set inside solarium windows showcases your views.
Another side entry leads to an alcove for your desk/organization needs, just before you reach the downstairs full bath with luminous skylight and accompanying bedroom, all finished with festive red Spanish tile flooring.
Upstairs are five bedrooms…a spacious master suite with long windows showcasing the view to the reservoir and out along the ridgeline of the property, a jack and jill set of bedrooms with adjoining bath and an additional bedroom next door to another large full bath. Hallway is lined with several closets, end to end, with ample storage possibilities. The fifth bedroom atop the landing has an en-suite full bath and 360 degree views of the surrounding verdant hillsides. Perfect for a yoga studio, painting retreat or even a large peaceful office space!
Across the deck is another full studio cottage suite, complete with washer/dryer hookups and the possibility for a full kitchen. Beautiful views are visible all throughout and the large skylight in the dining area illuminates the room with a flood of natural light. Great for guests or extended family!
Enjoy private access to the EBMUD trail system stretching along the San Leandro reservoir and open space. The views from this trail and its wide, quaint knolls are truly breathtaking and nothing less than inspirational. If it is a fresh and flourishing, quiet retreat you seek, you’ve arrived home on this tucked-away estate with endless possibilities…Come see it today!
