Timeless treasure in the heart of Berkeley’s coveted Thousand Oaks neighborhood, where elegance meets modern comfort. This lovely traditional 4+ bedroom, 3.5 bathroom residence invites you into a world of grace and beauty, offering a blend of classic charm and contemporary convenience.
Lovingly maintained and cherished by the same family for 50 years, this home features bright rooms, tasteful details, lots of space, a wonderful yard, and fantastic updates. Perched above the street, the property is striking with impressive curb appeal - wide brick stairs, stately pillars, and the beautiful welcoming front porch. Imagine hosting holidays in the grand living room, and conversations in front of the fireplace, where every gathering becomes a cherished memory. You’ll unwind in the sunroom that opens to the fragrant garden, a serene oasis perfect for morning coffee or evening reflections. And think of the unforgettable meals you’ll share in the formal dining room. The original built-in China cabinet is gorgeous, adding an elegant touch- and you’ll love all the convenient storage. The remodeled kitchen is a dream come true for any culinary enthusiast, featuring modern appliances and sleek finishes that make cooking a delightful experience. The main level opens to the backyard patio, lush flat lawn (ideal for play and picnics!) and verdant garden- your own private paradise – a sunny retreat for outdoor fun and dining al fresco.
When ascending to the upper level, notice the classic wood banister and glowing wood floors. Upstairs, the spacious bedrooms are airy, peaceful retreats, and the primary has a dressing room, ensuite, and another sunroom you could use as an office or sitting room. Stylish and fresh, the updated bathrooms offer a touch of luxury to your daily routine. The lower level has its own entrance, with several rooms and laundry area- the sellers used this as a multi-media area for music rehearsals to movie nights to sleep-overs featuring a wet bar and bath*. This home is designed for those who appreciate space and versatility. Storage galore in the laundry room, with tons of cabinets and space. The detached garage could serve many purposes, great for additional storage or use your creative touch.*
Situated in a prime location close to shops, schools, parks, dining, and public transportation, this home offers the ultimate in space, convenience, flexibility, and comfort.

About This Neighborhood
Thousand Oaks
∎
Thousand Oaks is a North Berkeley suburb in an idyllic natural setting. The original town planners created the neighborhood in harmony with the hillside environment: Roads decorated with lush plants and colorful flowers wind around large granite boulders, while landscaped walking paths connect streets dotted with mature oak trees and bucolic parks. With sweeping views of the bay, Thousand Oaks is a rustic retreat for all those who call it home.
Thousand Oaks’ magnificent real estate includes Craftsman bungalows and shingled lodges, built in the early part of the neighborhood’s history, as well as period revivals in Spanish, Tudor, and French Provincial styles, which came between 1910 and 1940.
The area’s shopping district can be found on Solano Avenue, a charming, tree-lined boulevard of predominantly locally owned shops and restaurants. Residents enjoy an array of dining options, including Nepalese, Tibetan, Thai, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Indian, Italian, and California cuisine. You’ll also find small family-owned groceries that specialize in Italian, Middle Eastern, and Asian foods.
