这座现代化的斯瓦特米尔斯住宅设计和布置无可挑剔,享有奥林达最好的景观。沿着私人车道驶入封闭的飞地,享受远离尘世烦恼的宁静。这座房子很特别,但人们甚至不需要进入房子就能欣赏到它的宏伟。漫步在朝西的外部,穿过宽阔的石灰华石甲板,享受午后温暖的阳光和伯克利山的景色,从布里奥内斯地区公园到北部,再到奥林达和蒂尔登公园之间的山脊及其周边地区。球场周围环绕着橡树、松树和其他成熟的树木,奥林达乡村俱乐部的第六洞和第七洞位于树林中向南几百码处。宽敞的无边际泳池毗邻甲板的一侧,配有斐雪派克烧烤设施(周围设有柜台)、可容纳数十人的阴凉户外用餐区以及可轻松容纳 10 人或更多的定制火坑。另一边是一个僻静的 Bullfrog 热水浴缸,晚上可以在那里喝一杯酒,欣赏远处山坡的灯光。在热水浴缸中放松身心后,客人可以前往数米外的 840 平方英尺的宾馆,那里设有卧室、带电视的客厅、带双水槽的全套浴室和私人甲板。场地周围有一条步行道。

This modern Swatt-Miers home— impeccably designed and appointed— commands what may be the best view in all of Orinda. Descend a private drive into a gated enclave and enjoy the serenity that puts the cares of the world far away. The home is exceptional, but one need not even enter the home to appreciate its magnificence. Stroll the west-facing exterior, over the wide travertine stone deck, and enjoy the warmth of the afternoon sun and the views of the Berkeley hills— ranging from the Briones Regional Park to the north, to the ridge in the distance separating Orinda from Tilden Park and its environs. Oaks, pines, and other mature trees surround the grounds, and the sixth and seventh holes of the Orinda Country Club can be found a few hundred yards through the trees to the south. A spacious infinity pool adjoins the deck to one side, with a DCS barbecue (with surrounding counters), a shaded outdoor dining area that can accommodate dozens, and a custom fire pit easily seating 10 or more. To the other side lies a secluded Bullfrog hot tub, where in the evening one may enjoy a glass of wine and the hillside lights in the distance. After relaxing in the hot tub, guests may retire to the 840 square foot guest house just yards away— with a bedroom, living room with television, full bathroom with dual sinks, and private deck. A walking path surrounds the grounds. The main home itself has every amenity. Enter past a soothing pond and water feature, through a dramatic 9x4 foot western red cedar door. Ceilings nearly 14 feet high welcome visitors, and the spacious living room and dining room (with a striking chandelier descending from the ceiling over travertine floors), provide a venue to entertain groups small and large. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer spectacular views of the Berkeley hills. From the elegant dining room, one path leads to the kitchen past a glass-enclosed, refrigerated wine cellar accommodating 750 bottles. The other path from the dining room leads to the kitchen past a hidden door leading to a spacious wet bar with wood shelving. The kitchen offers every appointment, including Miele, SubZero and Bosch appliances, dual sinks, a breakfast bar with stools, and an adjoining breakfast table. Cabinetry can be found floor to ceiling, and one won’t find a distracting handle anywhere in the room; every cabinet is subtly accessible. The kitchen leads to the glass-enclosed family room, with views of the swimming pool and hillsides in the distance, a spectacular 74” Samsung television for sports and other television watching, and a warming gas fireplace just underneath. The Klipsch sound system in the ceilings and walls provides music to fit every mood. The bedrooms lie on two levels to the other side of the house. The principal suite offers striking views of the hillside to the west, with retractable shades to block sunlight when desired. Two spacious walk-in closets will accommodate every wardrobe. The bathroom has dual sinks, a stand-alone tub, and a unique, spacious shower. The bathroom adjoins a separate private deck, with unparalleled views from the southwest to the northwest. It’s easy to move from rest to work, because a comfortable office (itself with dramatic west- and northwest-facing views) lies just steps from the principal suite. A spacious laundry room adjoins the principal suite. Descend white oak wood stairs to the other bedrooms and living area in the main house. An entertainment room and full bathroom lie at the bottom of the stairs. Two other bedrooms, each with stunning views of the hills, and an additional bathroom lie beyond. Other amenities abound. A three-car garage and adjacent parking area accommodate the residents and all guests, and a DKS gate system provides security. The home is just minutes to Orinda BART and the 24 freeway, and yet a world away from the bustle of modern life.
