Welcome to 545 Colusa Avenue, a Mediterranean gem in the heart of Berkeley’s coveted Thousand Oaks neighborhood. Situated on an upslope lot, this home is perched well above the street creating a peaceful and retreat-like getaway. Many modern updates are blended with classic charm in this home, which includes a bonus lower level space with its own separate entrance. When you enter the front door, you are drawn to the open concept living room with barrel-vaulted ceilings and gracious multi-light arched windows. The bright remodeled eat-in kitchen features stone counters, beamed ceilings and updated stainless appliances, while hardwood floors create a welcoming feeling throughout. The kitchen opens onto a private patio and a parklike backyard with lush gardens, fruit trees, maples and rock outcroppings. The upstairs features a lovely balcony with outlooks to the Bay Bridge and picturesque skyline views. Across the street from the express commuter bus to The City and just blocks from Solano Avenue’s vibrant shops and Colusa Circle's boutique farmers' market, this home combines serenity and convenience!
