El Sueno in Spanish means “the dream,” and this refined Tudor estate exemplifies what the street’s name suggests: timeless charm and tranquil seclusion in one of Orinda’s most coveted enclaves. Surrounded by exquisitely manicured gardens, mature trees, and curated outdoor living spaces, the residence blends classic architecture with modern luxury to create a home both elegant and livable. A stately stone driveway leads from the quiet cul-de-sac and winds past vibrant flora. The entry foyer leads directly into the heart of the home: an oversized living room (432 square feet), warmed by a wood-burning fireplace and illuminated by natural light streaming through windows on three sides. Classic oak hardwoods lie underfoot, and recessed lighting enhances the space, making the room ideal for entertainment. The formal dining room alongside seats 10, with captivating views of the surrounding gardens. The chef’s kitchen is a showpiece of form and function, featuring marble countertops, a wood-block island, a Viking refrigerator and other elite appliances, two sinks (one commanding a picturesque garden view), and bespoke cabinetry throughout. A breakfast nook, with a wood-burning fireplace of its own, provides a cozy venue for morning meals. From the kitchen, step outside to the sunny bluestone patio and enjoy the inviting outdoor entertaining spaces. A covered pavilion—open to the breeze, yet protected from the elements—offers every amenity: custom cabinetry, a dishwasher and refrigerator, a Wolf grill, a wood-burning fireplace, and a dining area that easily seats 10–12. Whether hosting a midsummer dinner or a cozy winter gathering, this is outdoor living at its finest. Meandering garden paths lead to a charming hillside ADU—perfect as a studio or home office. Along the way, you’ll encounter flowering shrubs, trees offering dappled shade, and hidden pockets for seating that provide space for quiet reflection. Two of the four bedrooms are located on or just a step or two above the main level, including the generous principal suite down the hall from the foyer. It features a luxurious en-suite bathroom with a freestanding soaking tub, an oversized shower, and a walk-in closet with custom cabinetry. A second closet ensures ample wardrobe space. Nearby lies a second main-floor bedroom, which alternatively could be configured as a spacious home office. Upstairs from the kitchen, a central family/play room (with built-in desk space and cabinetry) connects two additional bedrooms, each with its own remodeled bathroom. One bedroom features window seating and a walk-in closet with a dressing area; the other offers an expansive closet of its own. Other features include a home gym, a laundry room with LG appliances, and ample storage.
