39 El Gavilan Road, Orinda
Do you love sunsets? Welcome to 39 El Gavilan! This is a rare opportunity to purchase a beautiful 4 bed 4 bath mid century modern home with arguably some of the best views and sunsets in Orinda.
Perched on a ridge overlooking Sleepy Hollow, Orinda Downs and Happy Valley, you will be mesmerized as the landscape transforms daily. Bright blue skies, puffy clouds, slow rolling fog, bright green hills in the winter, rainbows, large estates and vineyards in the distance, and postcard perfect sunsets (May-September). The street is named after “the hawk” for a reason. Watch red tail hawks or an occasional bald eagle soar above the valley below. This is California living at its best.
On the main level, a wide-open floor plan with a Heath tile kitchen and high-end appliances face a wall of glass. Delight in a quiet morning or evening sitting by the fireplace and enjoy the heat and ambience of a new gas fireplace insert. The upper-level deck is your perch from where you can BBQ, entertain, and relax by the fire pit and watch the magical skies.
The main level bedroom wing features the primary bedroom with a huge walk-in closet and spa-like bath plus the second bedroom and full hall bath. Downstairs, there are two more large bedrooms, one with a remodeled ensuite bath and one accessing the updated hall bath. A spacious family room is a cozy spot for a game night or movie watching and offers another fireplace, a huge storage closet, and access to another wrap-around deck with a hot tub where you can soak up the views.
The wonderful backyard consists of a large level lawn, mature landscaping, fruit trees and two raised vegetable beds. Thirty solar panels (purchased in 2023) deliver green energy to power the home’s electrical needs including its electric heat pump for heating and cooling, electric car charger and spa. The Orinda lifestyle includes access to top-rated public schools, hiking trails, parks, a vibrant downtown, and easy commute location.
