Private, Beautiful, Orinda Retreat

A Legacy Estate. A Rare Opportunity Some homes are built. This one was crafted with intention, artistry, and an extraordinary sense of place. Conceived by designer Michael Brinkerhoff and masterfully constructed with a Craftsman motif in 2003, 30 Greenwood Court is a modern home that achieves something truly rare: the perfect union of artisan craftsmanship, functional livability, and an irreplaceable natural setting. Cedar shingle siding, maple hardwood floors, douglas fir trim, and custom cherry cabinetry echo the warmth of the exceptional landscape, drawing the beauty of the outdoors seamlessly inside. Interiors Designed for the Way You Live Every square foot of this 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath home was thoughtfully designed with function and indoor-outdoor flow at the forefront. A grand entry welcomes you into formal living and dining rooms that set a tone of quiet elegance. At the heart of the home, a fabulous eat-in chef’s kitchen appointed with a brand-new SubZero refrigerator, double ovens, a generous island, and custom cabinetry opens to a dramatic, oversized family room that is nothing short of a showstopper. Soaring ceilings, built-in surround sound, and expansive windows and doors dissolve the boundary between inside and out, flooding the space with natural light and garden views. A stunning office and 5th bedroom suite fitted with custom cherry built-ins, a fireplace, private entrance, and direct backyard and hot tub access adapts effortlessly as a home office, guest suite, or in-law retreat. A well-positioned powder room and laundry room complete the main level. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite is a true sanctuary, featuring two walk-in closets, a spa-inspired bathroom, and private office nook. A third en-suite bedroom and bath, two additional bedrooms, and a full hall bathroom provide generous, flexible space for family and guests alike. Grounds That Inspire. A Setting Unlike Any Other Step outside and leave the world behind. Set on a serene, award-winning .98-acre lot, the grounds at 30 Greenwood Court are nothing short of extraordinary. The expansive level lawn surrounded by lush plantings is a rare find in the hills of Orinda. A doubly-fed, stone-framed stream flows visibly beneath the flagstone patio, a dramatic 6-foot stone fire pit with built-in seating anchors the flat outdoor entertaining area, complemented by a built-in barbecue with hand-crafted stone surround and elevated deck overseeing the native habitat. A hot tub, hammock, curated edible garden bursting with citrus, figs, grapevines, and raised vegetable beds, craftsman chicken coop, in-ground trampoline, swing, and zip-line complete the fun and entertainment-friendly atmosphere. This is outdoor living at its absolute Best! Smart, Efficient and Built to Last The 2-car garage plus extensive additional garage space is as hardworking as the home itself, equipped with 220V EV charging, a workshop with dedicated circuits, smart irrigation controls, and abundant storage. Ceiling speakers extend throughout the home, garage, and outdoors (all hardwired) while every room is wired for ethernet, coaxial, and telephone. Central vacuum extends throughout the entire home and garage. ATandT fiber and a SunPower solar system ensure the home is both powerfully connected and energy efficient. LED lighting throughout, Lutron scene controls, a whole-home fire sprinkler system, and a freshly painted interior reflect the meticulous care that defines this property at every turn. Welcome to Your Next Chapter Exceptional homes like this one don’t come along often. Exceptionally built, lovingly curated over time, and gracefully set within its landscaped surroundings, 30 Greenwood Court is poised and ready for its next chapter. Tucked on a private cul-de-sac in the heart of Orinda’s coveted Glorietta neighborhood, with access to top-rated K–12 schools and just minutes from downtown Orinda, Rheem, and Lafayette; this is the rare legacy property that offers both tranquility and the ease of everyday life.
