Artisanat De Maître Et échelle à Wilder

Masterfully crafted and warmly modern, this sophisticated Wilder estate is one of the neighborhood’s signature homes. Set on an expansive lot on a premier, tucked-away street, it captures wide-open hillside views while feeling private, quiet, and deeply connected to the landscape.

An oversized 11-foot pivot door opens to a 3-story steel staircase with solid oak treads—a sculptural centerpiece. Soaring ceilings and walls of Fleetwood glass draw your eye to the hills beyond, while white oak floors and custom lighting give the great room a warm, gallery-like glow. A three-sided fireplace anchors the living space, creating a cozy focal point for intimate evenings and large gatherings.

The kitchen is a true chef’s stage, organized for cooking, family life, and effortless entertaining. A 22’ Calacatta marble island with seating for 6 runs the length of the room, paired with Miele range and refrigeration, Thermador dishwashers, beverage and wine fridges, and integrated pull-outs that keep counters clear. Hidden cabinetry and a generous walk-in pantry keep appliances tucked away so the space always feels calm. Just off the kitchen, a stylish powder room serves guests, while a corner office with pocket doors and sweeping views makes working from home feel like a treat. A mudroom and storage closets keep gear and essentials organized.

The home’s lower level is devoted to play, wellness, and entertainment. A generous rec room and playroom open to the outdoors and include a sleek wet bar with Miele appliances and a child-safe fireplace: equally comfortable as a kids’ zone, teen hangout, or game-day lounge. The gym features a sprung floor, mirrored walls, and an adjacent steam shower. A nearby laundry room makes it easy to drop workout gear and towels straight into the wash.

Upstairs, the primary suite becomes a private retreat. Two walk-in closets, one with a marble-topped island and media display so the dressing area feels like its own lounge. The spa-inspired bathroom pairs Gucci wallpaper with heated floors, a soaking tub, and a spacious shower with multiple fixtures. Sliding doors open to a private terrace the length of the suite—panoramic views and a secluded spot for morning coffee or sunset wine. Two additional bedrooms sit across a glass-railed walkway, with a laundry room—dual washers, dual dryers, and custom cabinetry—close by. A fourth bedroom suite on the lower level has exterior access, ideal for guests, au pair, or extended family.

Outdoor living is equally considered. Multiple terraces and a broad, level lawn flow from the main living spaces. The rear yard reads like a modern piazza: generous patio zones for lounging and dining, an outdoor fireplace for cool evenings, and a large grass expanse for soccer, tag, or a casual wiffle-ball game. Native plantings, raised garden beds, and hillside landscaping soften the home’s clean lines.

Behind the aesthetics is a quiet, robust infrastructure. A Savant home-automation system with Lutron lighting puts control of lights, shades, music, and entertainment at your fingertips via app or keypads. A solar array feeds 4 Tesla Powerwalls, complemented by a Generac backup generator, allowing the home to run off-grid for extended periods—rare peace of mind during Bay Area outages. Integrated speakers inside and out, automatic recessed blinds, hospital-grade air filtration, and an EV-ready three-car garage reflect the home’s forward-thinking design.

As part of Wilder, residents enjoy a resort-style clubhouse with pool and fitness center, community playfields, and quick access to hiking and biking trails, all within the Orinda school district with neighborhood bus service.

From its architecture and materials to its storage-rich, family-friendly floor plan and large-scale entertaining capacity—multiple dishwashers, multiple laundry zones—this is a modern estate crafted to be a “forever home.”
