Welcome to this beautifully reimagined Moraga residence, where modern design meets everyday functionality. Extensively remodeled inside and out, the thoughtful floorplan is set on nearly half an acre and framed by sweeping hill views. From the moment you arrive, the home’s striking aesthetic makes a lasting impression.
The formal entry leads to a light-filled living room enhanced by skylights and an Andersen sliding glass door that opens directly to the backyard. The formal dining room is ideal for entertaining, featuring a grid-style French door flanked by windows that extend the space to the charming front porch.
The gourmet eat-in kitchen is both beautiful and highly functional, highlighted by a generous picture window overlooking the backyard and open space beyond. Custom cabinetry, honed granite countertops, a marble tile backsplash, and Dacor stainless steel appliances including a six-burner gas rangetop, oven, and warming drawer anchor the space. An informal dining area with a built-in storage bench flows effortlessly into the spacious great room with a gas fireplace and captivating hill views. Two sets of glass doors opening to the yard further enhance the home’s signature indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
Privately situated to the left of the entry, the bedroom wing offers three well-appointed secondary bedrooms, a beautifully redesigned hall bath, and a serene primary suite featuring an updated bathroom with an expanded walk-in shower.
Both the front and back yards serve as natural extensions of the living space, offering a rare sense of beauty, serenity, and connection to the surrounding neighborhood. The peaceful backyard includes inviting entertaining areas, a lawn, raised garden beds, and an upper yard providing a blank canvas for future enhancements such as a detached structure, play space, or additional outdoor amenities. Completing the property is a three-car garage ideal for parking, storage, or a home gym.
All of this is ideally located near top-rated schools, Moraga Ranch Swim Club, Rancho Laguna Park, miles of scenic hiking and biking trails, the Moraga Farmers Market, and a variety of shopping and dining options.
