Completely renovated from top to bottom, this 4 bedroom 2 bath home sits in everyone's favorite dog-walking, stroller-pushing, neighbor-waving community, filled with trick-or-treaters every October. Skylights fill the main living spaces with natural light, and wide plank oak floors carry that warmth throughout. The kitchen anchors the home with quartz waterfall counters, custom cabinetry, a gas cooktop island that seats four, and a spacious pantry, flowing into the dining area, a cozy sitting room with a fireplace, and a separate living room. The family room opens directly to the backyard and is built for movie nights and casual living. Each of the four bedrooms is generously sized with its own character, offering plenty of flexibility for a growing family, guests, or a home office. The primary suite features a shower wrapped floor to ceiling in antique sage ceramic tile from Spain and a matte marble porcelain floor, plus a window that frames the trees and a double vanity. The hall bath carries the same elevated feel, with a soaking tub, richly textured tile, and its own window view. Outside you'll find a rare flat backyard with a paver patio, turf lawn, and mature crepe myrtles, ideal for play, gardening, outdoor dining, and grilling. Close to top rated schools and everything the neighborhood has to offer. This is the one everyone has been waiting for.

Ivy Drive, located between Orinda Village and the Wilder hillside, is a residential and wooded Orinda neighborhood with curving lanes and canyon views. The feel is defined by mid-century ranch homes, updated contemporary builds, and deep setbacks under mature oaks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Orinda Way at Moraga Way, where sidewalk patios, small storefronts, and the BART plaza set a steady daytime rhythm. Community pillars include Orinda Theatre, Orinda Books, and the Orinda Farmers’ Market. Trails and open space thread nearby, with Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve and the Lafayette Reservoir loop shaping weekend routines. A short drive leads to the Orinda Library and the Orinda Community Center for classes, courts, and events.
