Property Description
Tucked away in Berkeley's coveted Thousand Oaks neighborhood, this architecturally rich and playful 3+BD/2BA Spanish Revival embraces natural beauty, beginning with an outdoor seating area bordered by one of Berkeley's classic glacial erratics. The 1898 SQFT home opens to a cozy living room with San Francisco Bay views, beamed ceiling, vintage fireplace, and hardwood floors throughout. A wrought iron bannister leads to the bright dining room and adjacent kitchen with Bosch and Miele appliances, plus laundry with new W/D. Upstairs bedrooms feature high ceilings and French doors opening to a deck and an untouched, oversized backyard. The yard is a massive private park with mature oaks, a footbridge, ancient boulders, and fruit trees. The upper level includes a full bath and flexible room with built-ins for office or play. Downstairs offers another flexible space with exterior access and a sunny bedroom with ensuite bath. Upgrades include new electrical panel and EV charger wiring. A one car detached garage ensures off-street parking. Ideally situated near Solano Ave, Colusa Circle, parks, and Thousand Oaks Elementary. Energy Assessment score: 4
