There’s a quiet confidence to 753 Peralta Avenue. From the street, it reads as a classic 1922 Craftsman bungalow, with a freshly rebuilt front porch and the kind of proportions that feel instantly at home in the Thousand Oaks neighborhood. But step inside and you discover a home that has been thoughtfully, methodically improved over the years by owners who clearly loved it, and is now move-in ready from top to bottom.

Fresh interior and exterior paint give the home a crisp, clean feeling throughout. The newly remodeled kitchen brings a modern sensibility to the original Craftsman character: updated finishes and thoughtful design in a space that remains warm and functional. The original hardwood floors run throughout, custom cabinetry adds storage and craft, and dual-pane windows let the California light pour in. The living room fireplace, fitted with a handsome Fireclay Tile surround, draws the eye as soon as you enter.

In 2018, a full bedroom and bathroom addition brought the home to two bedrooms and two baths. The addition was done with genuine care: Hansgrohe fixtures, radiant heated floors, Toto toilets, and a Toto washlet in the primary bath give it a spa-like quality that belies the home’s modest footprint. An on-demand hot water filter, solar, and a matched set of Miele washer and dryer round out the package. The home carries a Home Energy Score of 10, the highest possible rating, a rare and meaningful distinction that reflects the cumulative investment in efficiency, systems, and sustainability.

The systems have been addressed with equal diligence. A new Lennox HVAC was installed in 2021. The foundation was updated and seismically retrofitted, new copper piping was installed throughout, and the sewer lateral was replaced, all in 2012. The finished garage interior adds a genuine bonus room to the footprint, a versatile space equally suited as a home gym, private office, or guest room. The long three-car driveway offers the kind of off-street parking that Berkeley buyers rarely take for granted.

The 3,500-square-foot lot provides a real back yard, and the neighborhood itself is hard to beat. Thousand Oaks Elementary is just a few blocks away, and Solano Avenue’s cafes, restaurants, and shops are easily accessed from your front door. This is a well cared for home, truly ready for its next chapter.
