Classic 1920s Berkeley hillside home on an expansive 13024 sq ft cul-de-sac lot in sought-after Thousand Oaks, offering a rare opportunity to restore, reimagine, and create long-term value in a well-established residential setting.

A formal entry opens to a central living room with fireplace, hardwood floors, and large windows framing surrounding greenery. Adjoining dining area connects comfortably to the main living space. The interior, including the eat-in kitchen, retains vintage 1926-era character, and offers opportunity for thoughtful redesign and modernization over time.
