About This Home

As of July 2021

Versatile Thousand Oaks View Home! Stellar neighborhood, brilliant Bay & bridges view, open-plan sun-filled rooms, seamless indoor-outdoor flow, original charm, gorgeous professionally landscaped gardens, versatile floor plan with lower-level non-conforming in-law, lots of storage & driveway parking...what's not to love!? Most days begin and end on the south-facing deck. The setup is perfect for casually entertaining family and friends while delighting in the endlessly fascinating sunsets. And it's been a pretty sweet place to work from this past year! Enjoy the small-town feel of Kensington Village just up the road, the awesome Sunday Farmer's Market, Solano Ave shops & restaurants, & Tilden Park hiking/biking.
