About This Home
As of April 2025This tranquil, level-in Mid-century home sits quietly at the top of the hill in Kensington, offering a peaceful retreat in the East Bay. A thoughtfully landscaped front garden with a cozy seating area sets a welcoming tone before you even go inside. Sunlight warms the living room, where large, newly installed windows frame peek-a-boo views and the landscaped backyard. A handsome fireplace and beautifully refinished hardwood floors anchor the living room, which flows gracefully into the dining room. The generously sized bedroom provides a comfortable retreat from the public spaces, while the newly remodeled kitchen and bathroom add modern touches without losing the home’s classic charm. Lovely hardwood floors add to the Mid-century appeal of the dining room, kitchen, hallways, and bedroom. Conveniently, the washer and dryer are on the main floor, just off the kitchen. Below, a separate, large, attached storage area offers versatile space for bikes, tools, and more. The roomy two-car garage and driveway simplify parking while also allowing expansion potential*. With Tilden Park just moments away, nature trails are close at hand whenever you need a breath of fresh air. Peaceful yet near local amenities, this home blends timeless design with all the East Bay has to offer.
