Set on one of the most level parcels of Ashbrook Place, this single-story mid-century home offers 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 2,358 sq ft of light-filled living space on a generous .39-acre lot in Moraga’s coveted Corliss neighborhood. With an open layout and seamless connection to the outdoors, 34 Ashbrook Place captures the relaxed, community-oriented lifestyle that makes Moraga so appealing.

Step inside to a bright front living room with expansive windows and a classic brick fireplace. Create your favorite dishes in the updated kitchen and dining area featuring all new appliances (including refrigerator and gas range), freshly painted cabinets, and a window perfectly framing views of the backyard garden. This space flows into a second living room with its own fireplace, creating flexible areas for gatherings or quiet nights at home.

Down the hall, three well-sized bedrooms share a refreshed hall bath with convenient backyard access. The spacious primary suite sits at the back of the home and includes three closets and an updated bathroom with a deep soaking tub, separate shower, dual vanity, new tile floors, modern lighting, and direct access to the garden. New interior/exterior paint and newly refinished hardwood floors run throughout the home.

Outside, the property truly stands out! Both the front and backyard showcase decades of thoughtful cultivation, shaped by the owner’s mother, a founding member of the Ruth Bancroft Garden. Many of the sculptural succulents, aloes, agaves, and old-growth hydrangeas trace directly back to Mrs. Bancroft’s personal collection, resulting in a breathtaking, year-round display of color and texture. Hummingbirds, songbirds, deer, and the occasional Moraga turkey are frequent visitors.

The large, flat lower lawn has long been a gathering spot for neighborhood kids, while the upper garden remains a living work of art reflecting care, creativity, and connection. Fruit trees (including pomegranate, lemon, lime, and quince) add to the landscape’s charm. At the top of the yard, a deer fence with a gate opens into what’s known as “The Black Forest,” an old-growth California oak woodland in the Donald Reservoir area with a creek running through it making this perfect for hiking, exploring and enjoying nature.

This is a home where the garden tells the story, rich with history, heart, and natural beauty, and it’s now ready for its next chapter with someone who will appreciate the magic of this special place.
