About This Home

As of June 2020

Discover one of North Berkeley's most serene settings, with two magical homes on one beautifully landscaped parcel in Thousand Oaks! The gracious 5BR/2BA Craftsman is spacious and the enchanting 1BD/1BA creekside cottage is a gem. Perfect for extended families, extra income or working at home. Set in luscious park-like gardens, it feels like a retreat, yet is part of a vibrant community. Many special details are preserved, including hardwood floors, fireplaces and built-ins; plus many updates brimming with character. The inside-outside flow is delightful: the secluded garden "rooms" are perfect for dining, entertaining and peacefully enjoying nature. Light streams through classic windows; the garden calls you; this unique property is captivating year-round. And, it's just two blocks from Kensington Circle with market, cafe, pizza, pub and Sunday Farmer's Market. The G and 79 buses stop nearby, so SF commutes and rides to BART, Solano Ave and beyond are at your doorstep.
