In the heart of North Berkeley's beloved Thousand Oaks neighborhood, and just blocks to Solano Ave, sits stately 515 Vincente. Spacious, comfortable, with views of the bay from its vantage point above the street, this home feels both modern and quintessentially Berkeley. Welcome first to the living room with adorable tiled fireplace and so much natural light; a formal dining room with space to host; then to the updated, stylish kitchen with effortless flow to the backyard. The yard is park-like with its own Indian Rock Park-style boulders, weaving steps, flowering garden and magical nooks for adventuring. Lounge at the highest tier with a panoramic view. Inside again, on the main level, are 3 bedrooms and 2 updated bathrooms; and downstairs, a spacious family room, bonus space/office, or potential luxurious primary suite (and the 4th bedroom on public records). There is also a spa-like bathroom, with heated floor, soaking tub, large stylish shower, and a huge walk-in closet. This level has its own entrance, suggesting potential for an in-law suite or eventual true ADU. This is a home with room to spread out, host, and enjoy all of what North Berkeley has to offer, just out your front door. | Home energy score of 1
