18 Lavenida Dr

A rare Eichler-style architectural jewel! This mid-century modern is a forever home, located in Orinda’s coveted 'Golden Triangle,' just a short walk (under half a mile) to top-rated elementary, middle, and high schools. A custom 2011 remodel by Ward Young Architects modernized the home while preserving the essence of its original design. The interiors are designed to celebrate the outdoors, seamlessly blending nature with everyday living. The formal living and dining rooms showcase a wall of windows overlooking a serene creek. A modern kitchen features a large island with seating for five, an induction range with floating hood, and wall ovens, including an upper convection oven. It opens to the family room, where two walls of windows flood the space with a view of trees and natural light. The primary suite offers a spacious bathroom with dual sinks, a separate shower, a soaking tub, and a walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms are located in the rear for quiet and privacy. A kid’s play area or study space leads to an outdoor living area and a detached 120 sq. ft. office. The finished garage provides flexible space—perfect for cars, a hangout zone, or a creative workspace. This one-story home is designed for seamless indoor-outdoor daily living, entertainment, and serenity.
