About This Home
Immaculate Walter Dixon "Modest Mansion". Renowned Bay Area architect Walter Dixon designed many storybook-style homes in 1928 as an hopeful optimistic counter to post-WW1 sentiment. He loved curves, natural light, breakfast nooks, french doors, stained glass and lush gardens. He worked with the famed architecture firm that designed the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco. 1915 Thousand Oaks is one of his quintessential "modest mansons". Five large bedrooms plus an office and au-pair studio, and four and a half bathrooms comprise the sleeping quarters, replete with verdant views all around. A typically enormous living room with stained glass faces south to the tidy park across the street. A grand formal dining room with balcony faces the same way, and a newly remodeled kitchen and breakfast nook complete the picture. The gardens too, have been maintained in the Dixon style; lush, exotic and private, with various seating areas and a fountain. There is also a two-car garage and a top-floor game room. ALL-NEW ELECTRIC, whole-house copper plumbing, concrete-shingle roof, and engineer-approved foundation to boot! (See disclosures for permits, plans and reports.) This is location perfection, near coveted Solano Ave restaurants and shops, parks, and buslines. BESO is currently a score of 1 but may be changed soon....
