Discover this Vintage Charmer in Thousand Oaks. 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 is a home with great potential. Anchored in the Thousand Oaks neighborhood a block and a half from bustling Solano Avenue, it’s absolutely charming.
