This 1918 Craftsman is over 100 years old and, while it features fresh interior/exterior paint and refinished hardwood floors, the kitchen and bath are described as 'vintage' and 'original,' placing them well beyond the 20-year threshold for being dated. The mention of a garage needing a new roof and the invitation to 'renovate and reimagine' confirms it requires updates to meet modern standards.
Boasting a Walk Score of 95, the property is situated just half a block from Solano Avenue, offering unparalleled access to local dining and shopping in the prestigious Thousand Oaks neighborhood.
This 1918 bungalow retains its original architectural charm with refinished hardwood floors and abundant natural light, further enhanced by an impressive Home Energy Score of 9.
The level backyard and detached garage provide a versatile canvas for outdoor living or potential conversion into an ADU, offering significant value-add opportunities for the buyer.
With only 896 square feet and a single Jack-and-Jill bathroom, the home's small footprint and layout may lack the privacy and scale desired by modern families.
The property requires updates to its vintage kitchen and immediate repairs to the detached garage roof, indicating a need for additional capital investment post-purchase.
