Asking Price: $1,595,000

A rare corner-lot gem in Orinda’s beloved Ivy Drive neighborhood, offered for the very first time. Everyone’s favorite dog-walking, stroller-pushing, neighbor-waving community, this 3-bed, 2.5-bath ranch-style home carries the kind of warmth that only comes from a life genuinely well-lived. Lush, manicured .23 acres set the tone: mature trees, blooming roses, and a wide lawn that practically invites a game of catch. Inside, soaring vaulted wood-beam ceilings, a picture window, and a classic brick fireplace anchor the living room. The kitchen flows into a sun-filled family room, where coffered ceilings and sliding glass doors opening to a backyard make it the heart of the home. The primary suite opens to the garden, and two additional sunny bedrooms offer all the room a growing family needs. Walk to Del Rey Elementary, Orinda Intermediate, and Miramonte High School. Once people find Ivy Drive, they don’t leave.
