Set above the street in the beloved Glorietta neighborhood, 33 Valley greets you with a charming front porch framing treetops and the surrounding green hills.  This is a special pocket, filled with friendly neighbors and a deep sense of community.    Cross the threshold and the living room pulls your gaze upward-vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and skylights. A fireplace and built-ins ground the room while height and light define it. The flow is effortless: rooms are open to one another yet defined. The dining and family rooms connect to expansive outdoor spaces including a patio set up for outdoor dining and entertaining and a large play area just beyond. The kitchen keeps its soul. Vintage cupboards, gas range, new countertops include some of the thoughtful updates.  The bedroom wing is set apart for a greater sense of retreat. The primary looks to the hills with its own spa-like bath; two additional bedrooms share a second full bath with the same attention to detail. Outside, a shower is ready for post-hike cleanup. A laundry room with storage and garage with attached bonus room add space for a home office.  What you can't see matters most. Many of the major systems have been thoughtfully upgraded including roof, windows, electrical, HVAC, insulation and drainage. Upgrades built to last.  Just a short walk down the street leads you to Meadow Swim & Tennis Club and just a few minutes beyond it is Glorietta Elementary, accessed by a secrete forest pedestrian pathway on Heather Lane. The convenience continues with the Freeway and Orinda BART just a 6 minute drive away and trails and open space galore are within easy reach.
