121 Tappan Ln Orinda CA | Orinda

This modernist retreat rests on a private extension of Tappan Lane in the coveted Bear Ridge community. With commanding views of Briones Reservoir and rolling hillsides, plus a meticulous down-to-the-studs 2019 transformation, the home embodies Orinda living: architectural distinction, comfort, and seamless connection to nature. Just a mile from top-rated Sleepy Hollow School and three miles to Orinda BART, convenience pairs with privacy.

Approach via Bear Ridge’s private drive, where residents enjoy tennis courts and a tranquil enclave. Towering redwoods, oaks, and pines surround manicured gardens and a grassy play area. (Camp & Camp architectural renderings provide plans for a pool, should the next owner wish to extend outdoor amenities.) The home, set on more than an acre, is oriented for maximum light, privacy, and views. Pleasant breezes drift along the hillside, minimizing the need for air conditioning.
