Property Overview
Rare Thousand Oaks Opportunity! Spacious 1915 Craftsman Close to Schools + Solano Ave
Located in one of Berkeley's most sought-after neighborhoods, this 1915 Craftsman is situated in the heart of Thousand Oaks and offers buyers the opportunity to bring their style and design aspirations to reality. Spacious at 2,014 square feet (per public records), the home features four bedrooms, one bathroom, elegant living and dining rooms, a large kitchen and an unfinished basement for storage and/or potential square footage expansion. The home's exterior offers a classic Craftsman facade with wide, overhanging rooflines, exposed rafter beams and an inviting front porch, while the large, level lot (5,000 SF) provides an exceptional canvas for a stunning garden or urban orchard.
The interior, characterized by spacious rooms with hardwood floors and abundant natural light, requires updates that will allow the next owners to bring their vision to this lovely vintage home. The main level features elegant living and dining rooms filled with original features (picture rails, a fireplace and elegant Craftsman cabinets and built-ins), and a kitchen spacious enough to create an impressive eat-in chef's kitchen. Two large bedrooms on this level have hardwood floors and share a generously-sized full bathroom, while a third bedroom can be converted into a home office, nursery or guest room. The home's large primary bedroom is situated upstairs, providing privacy from the home's more public rooms. Numerous versatile bonus spaces and closets on the main level offer flexibility for reimagining the home, with opportunities to tailor the layout to individual needs and architectural vision.
1863 Tacoma is situated close to highly regarded schools and Solano Ave's many amenities, close to Berkeley's renowned Gourmet Ghetto and just minutes to the UC Berkeley campus and North Berkeley BART. This is truly a rare opportunity for buyers to customize an investment property or primary home in a highly desirable North Berkeley neighborhood.
