Description

strongVersatile Thousand Oaks View Home /strong In 2015, the current owners happened onto this home in the first week of what they expected to be a long and arduous search. But they got lucky! The combination of stellar neighborhood, brilliant Bay and bridge views, sun-filled rooms, seamless indoor-outdoor flow, original charm, and versatile floor plan won them over immediately. The home is surrounded by gorgeous professionally-designed gardens, and most days begin and end on the south-facing deck that spans the back of the house. It's the perfect setup for entertaining family and friends while enjoying the endlessly fascinating sunsets. This home has also been a pretty sweet place to work from this past year! The living room has a barrel ceiling, a fireplace, and hardwood floors, so it feels warm and cozy even on foggy days. The layout is flexible the owners eat in the kitchen or on the deck, and watch TV in what was the formal dining room (cleverly reconfigured to add a custom entry nook/mudroom). The owners love the original vintage character of the kitchen and bathrooms, which they've updated sparingly, with an eye on preservation rather than replacement. There are 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths on the main level. The lower level, including the garage, was converted to a 1 bedroom, 1 bath non-conforming in-law unit by the previous owner*, so the property has served as a family compound that allows togetherness without sacrificing privacy for the sellers. dlliGardens professionally-designed and installed by Goodman Landscape 2018-2019 including: grading, drainage, hardscape, trellis, fencing, gates, decks, and plant selection/li liRoof and gutters new in 2015/li liSewer lateral compliant/li/dl *Buyer to verify with city.
