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.
