Enjoy top-of-the-world forever views, top-rated Orinda schools, flat and usable yards, future expansion into the ADU, and ultimate privacy on 1.67 acres as the last home on the street backing to undeveloped open space. 85 La Encinal is truly a gem. Drive up your freshly paved driveway to the parking pad in front of the oversized 2-car garage plus shop. Walk up the short flight of stairs to arrive at the front door, and don't forget to turn around to take in the view! Step into a welcoming foyer. To your right is an expansive living room with high celings, board and baton paneling, and a stone wood-burning fireplace. The french doors walk out to a redwood deck overlooking the first of two lawns. Enjoy spectacular views of sunrises over Mount Diablo, look out over the Orinda Valley, and take in the Briones Reservoir. A concrete pad is ready for your future hot tub or BBQ. Back inside the tour continues through the well-appointed kitchen and dining nook. Don't miss the 1/2 bath tucked into the laundry room. The secondary bedroom is spacious. The primary rooms include a large office, extra closets, and a large separate bedroom. Back outside a winding brick path takes you to a second, larger yard. Follow the pathway to the detached ADU shell, ready for your imagination to make the space your own. New designer paint colors inside and out, new carpets, refinished hardwood floors, updated lighting, and so much more! This opportunity will not last.
