About This Home
As of July 2023This Kensington home offers grand proportions, meticulous updates, and a curated garden. Since 2018, the home has enjoyed a complete renovation - nearly all spaces have been redesigned, including a foundation and seismic retrofit project completed with permits. The kitchen, with Heath tile, features a butcher block island and eat-in area flanked by windows that overlook the front garden. Steps from the adjacent vegetable and herb garden, referred to as the “Italian Courtyard” by the sellers, this space flows easefully into the bright dining room with Bay views. The spacious living room opens onto a large deck where diners can enjoy views of the SF Bay while taking in the landscaped backyard. This level houses 3 bedrooms & 2 beautifully redesigned bathrooms - the owner’s bedroom has glass doors opening onto the new deck. Downstairs, the recent remodel has 2 additional bedrooms, a spa bathroom, and a second kitchen, with refrigerator, dishwasher, and ample counter space for outside entertaining or a second suite - a perfect in-law space for those who want their own entrance and easy access to the garden. The beautiful garden grounds feature a large dining patio, an artist’s studio, and bocce ball court.
