Property Description

A 1935 Mediterranean Revival in the heart of Thousand Oaks, comprehensively renovated with over $365,000 in capital improvements. This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home pairs pre-war character with brand-new systems and finishes throughout. The main level features a sun-filled living room with hardwood floors and fireplace, formal dining room, and a fully renovated kitchen with new countertops, backsplash, and appliances. An enclosed sunroom provides an ideal reading nook or home office. Two upstairs bedrooms share a renovated full bath. The finished basement adds a family room, bedroom, and a distinctive art studio with its own separate exterior entrance and new laundry area, originally the home's "speakeasy room." Every system is new: complete electrical rewiring, heat pump HVAC with cooling, heat pump water heater, 2023 solar array, 200-amp EV-ready panel, and 2023 roof. Seismic retrofit with shear walls throughout. Fully BESO compliant. A mature redwood tree anchors the 5,000 sq ft lot with paved seating areas and a courtyard suited for bocce or entertaining. Thousand Oaks Elementary is steps away, and Solano Avenue's shops and restaurants are moments beyond. Home Energy Score: 10.
