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.
