Come home to a magical oasis located within walking distance of downtown Orinda’s shops and theater, as well as Orinda BART. This classic 1917 square foot ranch style home, situated on a close-in cul-de-sac, offers the ideal indoor/outdoor flow for entertaining and play time. The expansive and varied outdoor spaces will delight young and old alike. With a seamless floor plan and natural lighting, 1 Arbolado Court is move-in ready.
A wrought-iron gate leads to an expansive courtyard patio. The welcoming tiled foyer opens to a spacious living and dining area, with large picture windows, wood flooring, and an attractive wall of built-in cabinetry. The adjacent kitchen features tile flooring, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances including Kenmore Pro oven, French door refrigerator, and six burner gas cooktop.

The beautiful private .52 acre site is an outdoor paradise. Imagine summer evenings with a large gathering of children sprawled under the stars to watch a movie on the wall-mounted flat screen TV.

The versatile playhouse/storage shed installed by current owners will appeal to all ages. Surrounded by majestic oaks for beauty and privacy, the lovely, completely fenced yard offers a low maintenance and drought friendly outdoor area as is, while affording an opportunity for a future resident to create space for extensive lawn and gardens if desired.
