Description

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. Positioned on a sloped, terraced parcel with a defined driveway approach, the property offers a quiet, wooded setting and separation from the street. Approx. 2177 sq ft of living space with 5BR/2BA, including 4 bedrooms on the upper level and an additional lower-level bedroom. 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. Lower level adds flexibility with guest bedroom, office, or future-use potential, plus laundry room and storage. Terraced outdoor spaces include mature landscaping, pathways, stone retaining walls, and usable hillside zones. Detached garage and off-street parking. Near Solano Ave shops, cafes, schools, UC Berkeley, North Berkeley, Albany, Marin Ave, The Alameda, and key East Bay commute routes. Required City of Berkeley Energy Score is 1.

    "I grew up on Oakvale Ave & Domingo, and even as a kid I felt that Claremont was the best neighborhood ever: so many families, with genuine community spirit, and all kinds of beautiful, secret places to explore (safely). Now that I’ve lived in Palo Alto, Bryn Mawr, Philadelphia, Manhattan—and raising my own three children in Brooklyn—it’s clear to me that this neighborhood is a uniquely special, sometimes magical, place to grow up. I wish I could move it to Brooklyn!"

    "we care for each neighborhood, and watch out for one another in this big community. From helping the elderly to supporting the youth it's one big fest of communities colliding together and having each other backs. Let's not forget the big parties and many fusion restaurants they have to offer. With its diversity of multicultural foods the possibilities are endless and of course let's not forget our classics to New York style pizza to traditional Mexican cuisine it's an abyss of nothing but delicious food coming your way "
