About This Home

As of June 2020

Thousand Oaks traditional classic lovingly remodeled for open concept multi-generation living. Mt Tam and Bay view form backdrop from almost every window. Level-in from the street, the interior elevator creates ease of one-level living throughout. The living room, dining area and the kitchen open to the stunning slate deck for outdoor dining, entertaining and glorious sunsets. The chef's kitchen delights with sunlit views while cooking. Three bedrooms (including master) and full bath are all on one level. A family room with fireplace, two generous-sized bedrooms, kitchenette and full bath create an in-law or ADU unit with separate entrance, or complements the full use of the entire house accessed by either the stairs or the elevator. Family room opens to additional large deck for entertaining, R&R or play. A cascading lower deck just past the rose garden leads to the winding pathway thru the backyard, evoking a walk in your private park. Close to BART, easy access to UC Berkeley Campus
