87 Bates Blvd, Orinda, CA 94563

This is a gem - a rancher with style, situated for privacy and tranquility, yet part of a close-in friendly neighborhood in Orinda. Ceilings soar in the entry, living room and family room. An office and four bedrooms - with the master suite featuring a Jacuzzi - and walk-in closet. The cheerful cook's kitchen, adjacent to a spacious eating area, marble topped bar and family room, is designed for cooks; get out a short order or a seven course feast with efficiency. No painting or carpeting needed; it's just been done! There's two fireplaces and a three car garage with built in storage, a generous tree shaded patio near the sport court and a nice stretch of level lawn for sunning and games. Highway 24 is about a mile down the hill and the Orinda School District ranks one of the best in California.This is a home for all ages, a place to host friends and family, a place to savor life at its fullest.
