121 Van Ripper Lane

121 Van Ripper Lane, Orinda

This unbelievable estate property has never been on the market in its 70 years. The spectacular 1.1 acre private setting is the hidden jewel of Orinda’s most sought after street: the exclusive semi circle of lower Van Ripper Lane in the heart of Sleepy Hollow. Meander down a long private driveway to discover the classic one level mid-century modern home that has been beautifully restored in a contemporary reimagining that showcases the grandeur of the original architecture and enhances it with the finest of today’s accoutrements. Walls of glass overlook a magical setting with a spectacular expansive private patio opening to cascading lawns, beautiful flowering gardens, towering oak trees and a sparkling pool. The sun-flooded home features lofty ceilings, French white oak flooring, and state of the art kitchen anchored by a huge central island and boasting top quality Thermidor appliances and honed quartzite countertops. The primary suite has a luxurious spa like bathroom with oversized shower and adjoining dressing/wardrobe area. In addition to the main house with its five beautifully appointed bedrooms, five renovated bathrooms, and spacious study with generous built-ins (possible sixth bedroom?), there is a “bonus” 255 square foot (per owner measurement) poolside cabaña and bathroom. Additional storage and hobby space is found in a spacious detached workshop and adjacent storeroom.  A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
