As of July 2021

This gorgeous, custom, 5 bedroom home on a quiet cul-de-sac in Upper Kensington is a must see!

Enjoy the lovely view of the gorgeous yard while eating in the kitchen or spend time in the fabulous, wood-paneled office with its own fireplace. In addition to the 2 bedrooms and office on the main level, the upstairs offers 3 bedrooms, of which one is en-suite with tons of closet space and a bathroom so luxurious you'll never want to leave. The home is seconds from everything! Kensington Park, the library and charming shopping district are all within blocks.
