Built in 1946, the home's vintage nature may necessitate higher ongoing maintenance costs or updates to core systems that are not immediately apparent in the cosmetic 'Carmel cottage' styling.
Perched high in the Orinda hills behind a gated driveway, 21 Camino Del Diablo is a rare property that manages to feel peaceful, private and conveniently connected all at once. This approximately 3,457 square foot home offers four bedrooms and three bathrooms arranged in a layout that appeals to the masses. A Carmel cottage vibe on the exterior is complimented by gorgeous refinished vintage hardwood floors and crisp white interiors, giving everything an airy, updated quality without sacrificing warmth or character. The living spaces are filled with abundant natural light and feature a thoughtful indoor-outdoor flow. The outdoor areas have plenty of room for play and will inspire the entertainer in you, featuring a built-in BBQ island with room for barstools. The mature gardens, complete with lemon and orange trees and established plantings, are inviting and lush. The layout is a particular draw, with the primary suite plus two additional bedrooms upstairs, and a substantial downstairs family/bonus room with its own en-suite bedroom. This provides flexible sleeping arrangements, dedicated guest space, or just that blessed separation when you need it. The finished garage easily converts to gym, office, creative space, or whatever your life requires. This is a home for people who want to tuck themselves away without actually disconnecting. Close to award-winning schools, Orinda Park Pool, and 7 minutes to downtown. Make your way down the hill to hop onto highway 24, or enjoy a shortened commute continuing over the hill into Berkeley, Oakland or Emeryville. You get a retreat without sacrificing convenience. Don't miss this gem!
