About This Home

As of June 2026

Tucked away at the quiet end of a leafy cul-de-sac, 454 Vincent is a rare sanctuary in the heart of North Berkeley's coveted Thousand Oaks neighborhood. Set on an expansive 16,000+ square foot lot, this home feels "worlds away" from the everyday. Privacy abounds here, whether you are enjoying the quiet hush of morning, or golden stillness of late afternoon. The flexible floor plan adapts to a variety of lifestyles, offering the potential of two primary suites, one on each level, along with space for a dedicated home office. The main level also offers an over-sized primary bedroom, an inviting haven with a charming built-in window bench, perfect for reading or reflection. Its adjoining remodeled bath elevates daily living with refined finishes and a luxurious heated floor. A second bedroom, half bath and dedicated office ensure ample space for modern work-from-home needs. A beautifully remodeled kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining area and a cozy living room anchored by a fireplace, an ideal space for both intimate evenings and relaxed gatherings. Downstairs, a generous family room with second fireplace provides additional comfort and functionality. A third bedroom and remodeled bath with dual sinks and a soaking tub offer a serene place to unwind. Step outside to a large rear deck overlooking the creek and open space beyond, and ideal setting for outdoor dining. A short stroll leads to the Kensington Farmers' Market, Semifreddi's, and the vibrant Solano Avenue, where inviting restaurants, boutique shops and an upscale grocery await. Commuting is equally convenient, with quick access to BART and Highway 80. BESO SCORE 8
