About 516 Butterfield Place

Serene Living in Coveted Moraga Neighborhood

Quiet, private, and surrounded by open space! This updated mid-century rancher at 516 Butterfield Place is tucked into a sunny cul-de-sac in Moraga’s sought-after Camino Woods neighborhood. With no rear neighbors (unless you count deer grazing on the hills), you may feel far from civilization here. But you’re actually minutes from top-rated schools, shopping, dining, the Moraga farmer’s market, parks, and trails. Highlights inside this spacious 3-bed, 2-bath home include the open floor plan with vaulted exposed-beam ceilings, skylights, and a beautifully updated kitchen. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, fireclay tile backsplashes, and a roomy breakfast bar. It opens to a dining area/great room, where a two-sided brick fireplace divides the great room and living room.

Newly installed oak floors flow from the living area into the bedroom wing, where the primary bedroom includes an updated bathroom, walk-in closet, and sliding glass doors that open to the back patio’s Zen-like Alaskan cedar hot tub. Imagine night soaks here under the starry sky while being serenaded by frogs and crickets!

The tiered backyard is an oasis and gardener’s delight. An outdoor kitchen sink and prep area are convenient for entertaining. Landscaping includes 5 raised planting beds, lettuce garden, 2 herb terraces, flower terrace, and deluxe chicken coop and run. You'll also love the petite lawn, redwood deck surrounding the hot tub, viewing terrace, and mature oak, pine, and bay trees. Automated irrigation makes it easy to grow a thriving garden. Do you like giant heirloom tomatoes? The sellers have had great success in their full-sun front yard.

The location is unbeatable, with access to some of the best schools and outdoor experiences just steps from home. You also can celebrate TGIF at the neighborhood favorite biergarten, Canyon Club Brewery, just 2 miles from home. And spend Sunday mornings at the nearby farmer's market gathering ingredients for a farm-to-table dinner at your new home. Homes sell fast here; it's easy to see why!
