About This Home

As of June 2025

Tucked behind a redwood gate, this Kensington retreat invites you to slow down the moment you arrive. Entering the front yard alongside the lush and tranquil waterfall, a pond of happy koi welcomes you. Inside the home, a thoughtfully designed kitchen overlooks the sweet front garden. The sun-drenched dining room leads you out to a spacious deck, where a view of the Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge offers the ideal backdrop for sunset dinners and weekend gatherings. A comfortable living room with a cozy fireplace and more expansive views completes the main level. Upstairs, two serene bedrooms and a spa-like bathroom, with separate shower, and jacuzzi tub, create the feeling of a quiet sanctuary. Head one level down to discover a bonus office, full bath, and easy access to the two-car garage. One more level down, and you’ll find even more to love: a generous laundry room, wine cellar, extra storage, and two additional spacious bedrooms—each full of light and comfort. Step outside to a tucked-away veggie garden and stone patio—a private nook for play, rest, or simply harvesting your herbs. And yes, there’s even more basement storage here too. Just moments from Kensington’s sought-after elementary school and close to the village, 260 Willamette is the perfect, peaceful location!
