California, Contra Costa County, Orinda, USA

New Construction in 2016, a 3112-sf custom home sits masterfully on a western facing .27 acre ridgeline of the Orinda Country Club hills. Inspired by East Coast farmhouses, it blends seamlessly with its lush surroundings while offering timeless craftsmanship. Inside, the home offers 5 BR and 3.5 bathrooms, with an open-concept layout ideal for modern living. Milled poplar walls are anchored by a soaring 20-foot cupola. Expansive floor-to-ceiling windows and doors flood the home with natural light and connect with the surrounding gardens. 715 sq ft of terrace flows off the living room, creating a seamless extension of living and entertaining space. A luxurious master suite is on the 2nd floor. Board and batten detailing throughout, a gas fireplace, walk-through closet, reading nook landing, and a beautifully appointed office/bedroom. The bath includes a marble-tiled walk-in shower and a 6-foot cast iron French Bateau clawfoot. The exterior features antique barnwood, dramatic black siding, a dark bronze standing-seam metal roof, galvanized downspouts, and AZP Raw accent roofing-all chosen to create a rugged yet refined aesthetic. Every detail reflects a commitment to livability, warmth, and understated elegance.
