5920 Ivanhoe Road | Timeless Craftsmanship Meets Modern Living in the Heart of Rockridge

Welcome to 5920 Ivanhoe Road, an exquisitely preserved 1916 Craftsman tucked
into one of Rockridge’s most desirable, tree-lined streets. This 4-bedroom, 2.5-
bathroom residence spans 2,135 square feet, offering layers of flexible bonus space,
storied architectural detailing, and a location that perfectly balances serenity and urban
connectivity.

From the moment you enter, you’re greeted by unpainted original koa mahogany
woodwork, crown picture rails, and vintage French doors—artful details that reflect a
bygone era of true craftsmanship. The grand living and dining rooms set the tone for
elegant yet comfortable living, framed by beveled glass windows and anchored
by a tiled hearth and original built-ins that remain unaltered for over a century.
The thoughtfully updated kitchen marries form and function with quartz countertops,
stainless steel appliances, and custom cabinetry. It flows seamlessly into a sun-kissed
dining and lounge nook surrounded by windows and garden views—perfect for casual
mornings or spirited gatherings. A powder room and additional storage complete the
main level.

Upstairs, the full bathroom is a nod to vintage grandeur with a large soaking tub,
separate shower, and striking original tilework. Three spacious bedrooms feature deep
closets, abundant light, and tranquil views. At the top, a finished attic offers the perfect
fourth bedroom, home office, or creative retreat.

Below, the 669 square feet of additional living space includes a massive bonus flex
room and bonus room, ideal for play, hobbies, crafts, offices, or guests. A third finished
basement room offers even more flexibility—gym, studio, media lounge, or all of the
above. Air conditioning via mini-splits in the 1st and 2nd floor provide comfort in summer
months. Owned solar panels on the roof help to off set rising electrical costs. 

Outside, a lushly landscaped garden leads to a large, pergola-topped deck—an idyllic
setting for dining under the stars or morning coffee among the roses. A two-car garage
and ample storage space complete this exceptional offering.

Just a short stroll to College Avenue’s renowned cafés, restaurants, and
shops—including Market Hall, Wood Tavern, and Boichik Bagels—this home offers
unparalleled access to everyday essentials and gourmet delights alike. Commuters will
love the quick access to Rockridge BART and nearby freeway connections. Top-rated
local public and private schools, vibrant community culture, and a strong neighborhood
identity make this a rare East Bay gem.
