Stepping Back In Time Under The Old Oak Tree

Thirty years ago three sisters used to ride their horses down the large open space behind their home and then return to their big Oak tree for some shade and lemonade. Their old red barn still stands today and you can imagine the freedom of their warm summer days. Set on a lovely one acre lot that overlooks Lost Valley, this wonderful 1940's gem is on the market for the first time in over 50 years. Located on a small court in the coveted Del Rey neighborhood, this home is within walking distance to Del Rey elementary and Orinda's top-rated schools. Through the years it has been updated with the expansion of the kitchen and a second story addition.
Upon entering the living room you are immediately captured by the large picture window that looks out to a lush natural landscape and majestic 50 year old Redwoods. A small back porch is accessed from the sunny eat-in kitchen and a charming garden pathway takes you to an outdoor spa. Recently painted with beautifully refinished hardwood floors and new carpet upstairs, much of the 1940's character is still intact. A fenced in lawn is ideal for small children and the two stall barn could be used for 4H, an artist studio or garden shed. Imagine long summer picnics under the Old Oak Tree and enjoy the feeling of past generations for years to come.
