Property Description
As you approach the flagstone entry accompanied with IPE railing and stairs, 59 El Toyonal welcomes you with the timeless warmth of a classic traditional home. Situated on a sprawling lot graced by majestic oaks, this 4-BD / 3.5-BA property offers a rare blend of serene privacy and close proximity to a bustling downtown, top-rated Orinda schools, and the Orinda Park Pool. The main level provides effortless flow, reflecting original hardwood floors that gleam with character. The heart of the home is the well-appointed kitchen, thoughtfully remodeled, featuring premium stainless-steel appliances, elegant stone countertops, and a striking cherry wood accent counter. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party in the formal dining room or relaxing in the living and family rooms, whose large windows capture abundant natural light, the layout feels both spacious and intimate. The primary suite, complete with a beautifully remodeled bathroom, a walk-in closet, and a dedicated office nook — perfect for those who need a quiet corner to focus. The main floor also hosts a second bedroom, a full bathroom, and a convenient powder room. Downstairs, the living space expands with two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a large den outfitted with clever built-in storage – perfect for a large hobby area or kids’ playroom. The backyard is a private oasis designed for year-round enjoyment and drought resistance. Evenings can be enjoyed soaking in the hot tub, hosting weekend cookouts at the built-in grill, or a quick game on the basketball court area. The hillside, with walkways under and around ancient oak trees, provides ample spots for exploration or sitting areas to admire the vistas, while listening to the many songbirds that nest in the trees above. Beyond the aesthetics, this home has been meticulously cared for with significant infrastructure investments, including a new roof and professional foundation upgrades and retrofitting. It’s a perfect marriage of vintage charm and modern peace of mind in one of Orinda’s most coveted locations.
