About this home
Walden in Orinda! First time on the market! 33 Oakwood presents a rare opportunity to vacation among the oaks 24/7 while living only minutes from town. Located on a coveted cul-de-sac in a prime Glorietta neighborhood, this charming home is like nothing else you have seen. While retaining the character of a cabin in the woods, this home has an up-to-date open floor plan, hardwood floors, vaulted beamed ceiling, and central heating and dual pane windows throughout both structures. The main house has an open kitchen with eat-in dining and sitting area, a warm and welcoming living room with brick fireplace and vaulted ceiling, as well as 2 inviting bedrooms and a full bathroom. The adjacent secondary cottage has two spacious sky-lit bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and lofts, as well as a compartmented bathroom. There are endless possibilities here...enjoy the two bedroom home and use the second structure for home offices or guests. Or, like the family who loved this home for over 50 years, use the two bedroom lodge as a special retreat for the kids. Connect the two buildings for a more traditional family home. The .61 acre site also offers incredible potential for gardens or play areas...or just maintain as-is for a private oasis in the woods. This is truly a one-of-a-kind must-see home, a place to design your own personal space and create special memories for a lifetime.

Estates, located between Orinda Village and the Moraga border, is a residential and hillside Orinda neighborhood with winding lanes and broad, oak-studded lots. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Orinda Theatre marquee and the small cluster of storefronts along Orinda Way, where coffee counters, boutiques, and patio tables set a low-key rhythm. Architectural cues lean toward mid-century ranch homes and custom builds tucked behind mature trees, with long driveways and a quiet, buffered feel. Trailheads and open-space edges shape daily routines, with views that open toward the Lamorinda hills. Community touchstones include the Orinda Theatre, Orinda Books, and the Orinda Farmers Market at the Library Plaza.
