    What's special

    Welcome to 478 Boynton—a timeless 3BD/3BA retreat in Berkeley’s sought-after Thousand Oaks Heights. Full of warmth, character, and thoughtful design, this home offers the perfect mix of classic charm and modern comfort—plus coveted indoor-outdoor flow that makes daily life feel like a getaway. The main level features a light-filled living room with original wood-trimmed windows, hardwood floors, and a tiled fireplace that opens to a spacious redwood deck—ideal for entertaining, enjoying morning coffee, or unwinding among the trees. The kitchen offers clean lines, ample storage, and vintage style that blends beautifully with the home’s original detailing. A bedroom with en suite bath adds flexibility for guests, a home office, or a private den. Upstairs, a second bedroom with exposed beam ceilings and a cozy office nook leads to the sun-soaked primary suite, complete with vaulted ceilings, skylights, a private balcony, and a spa-like bath with jetted tub and separate shower. Close to Solano Ave, Marin Circle, and Kensington Village, with easy access to beloved shops, cafes, parks, weekend farmers’ markets and transit. SQ FT differs. Buyer to investigate.
