About This Home

As of July 2020

Nestled among trees on a quiet and charming street in the coveted Thousand Oaks neighborhood, this charming 1926 Traditional is beautifully appointed with many original details. Formal entryway opens to gracious living + dining rooms overlooking magical park-like gardens through large picture windows and a sunny deck. Two of the spacious bedrooms are easily accessible on the entry level and share a bath. The kitchen features newer appliances, its own exterior entrance, plenty of counter space and an eat-in area. Upstairs, a vaulted wood paneled family room could easily be considered a fourth bedroom. Oversized master bedroom has ample closet space + huge expansion possibility into large unfinished attic space. An (almost) full height basement offers plenty of workshop + storage space. Detached garage is conveniently accessed. Lovingly maintained + utterly private, home is close to Solano Avenue, parks, schools and the great outdoors. A rare gem in a wonderful neighborhood.
