About This Home

As of July 2021

This wonderful property very near the prized Kensington school offers a very large lot with space for everyone and views of 4 bridges! Originally the architect's own home. The main level family room opens to a sunny, private patio and terraced gardens with hot tub. The lower family room opens to a level lawn. The two-car garage offers interior access and the kitchen opens onto another deck for barbecuing and enjoying the view. This has been the home of family with 4 children growing up there. A very special place to be!
