Hillside home in Orinda overlooks nearby golf course

large windows looking out on tree-studded hillsides, a wraparound deck with a built-in barbecue and a contemporary kitchen that has an island with a built-in cooktop at the center. The lower level includes both a bedroom and a family room with a fireplace, each opening to the backyard.

There’s also a detached office with built-ins and a private deck.

All told, the listing offers more than 3,600 square feet of living space.

This figure does not include the detached garage or the unfinished portion of the basement, which has cabinets dating back to the home’s construction.

Built by architect William Kirk in 1954, the home began life much smaller in scale. What’s now the owner’s suite was originally the living room, and the suite’s bathroom was located where the modern kitchen now stands.

Kirk expanded the home in 1960, adding a living room, dining room and kitchen, as well as a lower level.

The Kirk family owned the home until 1984. The next owners remodeled the kitchen and family room, added a powder room to the entry hall and a full bathroom downstairs. They also updated the foundation and rebuilt the stairs connecting the home to the street.

Three bedrooms, including the owner’s suite, anchor the eastern side of the main level. The living, dining and family rooms occupy the western half.

Large windows line a hallway leading to the bedrooms. A glass door along this hallway opens to a tranquil brick patio.

Public rooms and bedrooms feature vaulted, beamed ceilings, and both the dining and family rooms open to a wraparound wood deck that frames views of the tree-studded hillsides.

A pair of closets accent the owner’s suite, which includes an updated bathroom whose walk-in shower offers a builtin bench.
