About This Home
As of June 2025Welcome to 1715 Tacoma Ave, a reimagined single-level Craftsman in the heart of Berkeley’s beloved Thousand Oaks. Perfectly perched across from the park and just one block to the shops and buzz of Solano Avenue, this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home blends timeless charm with modern comfort. Original woodwork, and rich details speak to its 1920s roots, while a full top-to-bottom renovation delivers a fresh, functional layout designed for everyday ease. The living, dining, and kitchen flow seamlessly, anchored by a beautifully remodeled kitchen with quartz countertops, designer finishes, and all-new appliances. Both bathrooms have been stylishly updated with curated tile and modern fixtures. Restored hardwood floors and abundant natural light create a warm, inviting feel throughout. Major upgrades include a new 200AMP panel, complete rewire (no knob & tube), all-new plumbing, and a new HVAC system. Outside, a lush, private garden and deck offer a peaceful retreat, while the detached backyard casita—designed for a possible second bath—invites potential as a guest space, office, studio, or future ADU. A full walk-in basement provides storage or expansion options. With a Walk Score of 93, you're steps to parks, cafés, Colusa Circle, Kensington Village, and Albany’s restaurant row.
