Description

Tucked away at the quiet end of a leafy cul-de-sac, 454 Vincent is a rare sanctuary in the heart of North Berkeley's coveted Thousand Oaks neighborhood. Set on an expansive 16,000+ square foot lot, this home feels "worlds away" from the everyday. Privacy abounds here, whether you are enjoying the quiet hush of morning, or golden stillness of late afternoon. The flexible floor plan adapts to a variety of lifestyles, offering the potential of two primary suites, one on each level, along with space for a dedicated home office. The main level also offers an over-sized primary bedroom, an inviting haven with a charming built-in window bench, perfect for reading or reflection. Its adjoining remodeled bath elevates daily living with refined finishes and a luxurious heated floor. A second bedroom, half bath and dedicated office ensure ample space for modern work-from-home needs. A beautifully remodeled kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining area and a cozy living room anchored by a fireplace, an ideal space for both intimate evenings and relaxed gatherings. Downstairs, a generous family room with second fireplace provides additional comfort and functionality. A third bedroom and remodeled bath with dual sinks and a soaking tub offer a serene place to unwind. Step outside to a large rear deck overlooking the creek and open space beyond, and ideal setting for outdoor dining. A short stroll leads to the Kensington Farmers' Market, Semifreddi's, and the vibrant Solano Avenue, where inviting restaurants, boutique shops and an upscale grocery await. Commuting is equally convenient, with quick access to BART and Highway 80. BESO SCORE 8

    "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 "
