About this home

Experience 12 years of education excellence just steps away from this Ivy drive single level ranch with sought after cul-de-sac location! Nestled on a flat .23-acre lot in Orinda’s beloved Ivy Drive neighborhood, this beautifully updated single-level ranch combines comfort, function, and timeless charm. Inside you’ll find 2,601 sq ft with 4 spacious bedrooms plus a dedicated home office, 3 full baths, and a 2-car attached garage. The thoughtfully designed floor plan offers excellent flexibility for modern living. The heart of the home is an open, expansive kitchen/great room with vaulted ceiling, fireplace, hardwood floors, and sliding doors to the backyard - perfect for entertaining or casual everyday living. A separate living and dining area create space for more intimate gatherings, while the 4th bedroom and office are set apart from the primary bedroom wing for guests and work-from-home privacy. Outdoor living shines: a welcoming covered front porch, a private backyard with paved patio, lush lawn, mature landscaping, and an irrigated vegetable garden. Host friends around a fire pit, dine al fresco, or simply enjoy peaceful evenings under the stars. All this is just steps from Orinda’s award-winning K-12 schools - a true Ivy Drive lifestyle.

Condition Rating
Good

The property, built in 1957, has undergone a 'beautifully updated' renovation as stated in the description, which is evident throughout the images. The kitchen features modern white shaker cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and granite countertops, all in excellent condition. The bathrooms are also updated with modern vanities, tiled showers, and contemporary fixtures. Hardwood floors are present in main living areas, and carpets in bedrooms appear clean and well-maintained. While the overall aesthetic is very good and move-in ready, some elements like the specific granite pattern and bathroom tile style suggest the renovation might be closer to 5-15 years old rather than brand new, aligning perfectly with the 'Good' score criteria for an extensively renovated property.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & Neighborhood: Nestled in Orinda's highly sought-after Ivy Drive neighborhood, on a flat cul-de-sac lot, offering a desirable and peaceful living environment.
Exceptional School Access: Direct access to Orinda's award-winning K-12 schools, with Miramonte High School (rating 10) and other top-rated schools just steps away, making it ideal for families.
Updated & Flexible Interior: A beautifully updated single-level ranch with 2,601 sq ft, featuring an open kitchen/great room with vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, and a flexible floor plan including a dedicated home office and a private guest/work-from-home wing.
Spacious & Functional Layout: Offers 4 spacious bedrooms, 3 full baths, a dedicated home office, and separate living/dining areas, providing ample space and privacy for modern family living and entertaining.
Enhanced Outdoor Living: Features a private, flat .23-acre backyard with a paved patio, lush lawn, mature landscaping, an irrigated vegetable garden, and space for a fire pit, perfect for outdoor entertaining and relaxation.

Cons

Property Age: Built in 1957, while updated, the underlying structure and potentially some systems may be older, which could lead to future maintenance considerations not explicitly detailed.
Lack of Mentioned Cooling System: The description highlights a fireplace but does not mention any air conditioning or cooling system, which could be a significant drawback during warmer months in California.
Price Reduction & Valuation Discrepancy: The property has undergone a significant price reduction from its original listing ($2.595M to $2.395M), and the current list price is still considerably higher than the estimated market value ($2.04M), suggesting potential overpricing or a challenging market position.
