17 Dias Dorados

Built in 1936 and offered for the first time in 50 years, this exceptionally remodeled 5-bedroom, 6½-bath Monterey Colonial Revival is set on a knoll along a quiet cul-de-sac amid nearly an acre of mature oaks, conifers and a stately redwood. Gracious indoor-outdoor living defines the home, with French doors opening to decks and balconies and treetop views towards the Orinda Country Club and surrounding hills. The living room, just under 400-sq-ft, centers on a wood-burning fireplace and opens through French doors to a spacious deck overlooking the pool and gardens. The formal dining room retains original wood paneling and millwork and adjoins a former butler’s pantry furnished with leaded glass cabinetry and wine refrigerator. The remodeled kitchen combines antique Delft tile, poured-concrete countertops, a large Carrara marble center island and buffet alongside modern conveniences such as a Viking range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Miele dishwasher and walk-in pantry. Refinished hardwoods extend throughout the main and upper levels. A paneled library warmed by its own fireplace and finished in original millwork offers a natural retreat for work or reading. Two stairways, one in each wing, lead to 3 spacious en-suite bedrooms upstairs. The primary suite includes skylights, 3 walk-in closets, dressing area, sunroom and separate sitting room. French doors from every upstairs bedroom open to a balcony, including one private balcony. Two additional bedrooms are downstairs, one with a separate entrance ideal for guests or an au pair. A 432-sq-ft media / game room and wet bar, naturally cooled wine cellar, swimming pool and pool house provide abundant gathering space. White roses, topiaries, cypress, stone paths, patios and sitting areas complement the mature landscape. A gently curving drive rises to the brick entry terrace and motor court, with a separate 3-car garage. Downtown Orinda and BART are just a short drive down the hill.
