About this House

First time on the market in 45 years, this 1929 two bedroom, one bath Berkeley bungalow is not too big, not too small, and feels like home. You'll find the magic of its original construction as you enter the living room with hardwood floors, built-in bookshelves, decorative fireplace and lots of windows that allow the sunshine to radiate throughout the space.

Steps up to the master bedroom gives a nice separation of living and private space. The vintage kitchen offers lots of potential, add the cozy dining room off the kitchen with a door to the backyard and let your imagination harken back to a time when separation of space was preferred for privacy.

This home has great potential. Anchored in the Thousand Oaks neighborhood and a block and a half from bustling Solano Avenue, it's absolutely charming.

Features include:
-Replaced furnace 2018
-Kitchen and bathroom flooring replaced 2018
-Replaced water heater 2018
-Painted inside and out 2018
-Refinished wood floors 2018
-Sewer lateral in compliance
-One-car garage

    "What makes my neighborhood unique, being that I’m in Downtown Berkeley, is that I can walk to the post office, the library, many restaurants and other places like Ace Hardware and places I need to get errands done. So it is an all around is special neighborhood because I can literally walk to everything I need."

    "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 "
