Famous for its beautiful tranquil curving tree-lined streets and proximity to bustling Solano Avenue, it's no wonder Thousand Oaks is one of the most popular neighborhoods in Berkeley. This tantalizing traditional home sits above the street and enjoys superb views of the Bay and San Francisco from the living room and west-facing bedroom. This gracious light-filled home functions beautifully as one-level living, however, in addition, there is an attic space *plus a basement area that could be used as a media/gathering room and workshop. The sun-dappled back patio with its gorgeous built-in brick fireplace and barbecue is the perfect spot for morning coffee or an evening beverage. While the front of the house faces Santa Clara Avenue, the 2-car detached garage is conveniently accessible on San Juan Avenue, which allows for an easy entry across the patio to the kitchen door for groceries and such. With its own magnificent oak tree, this home is truly part of the neighborhood!
