About This Home

As of May 2024

Welcome to this beautifully updated cape cod on a corner lot in desirable Kensington! This charming home has been tastefully updated and encompasses 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, spread over three floors.

The main level boasts an open plan living room and updated eat-in kitchen with dry bar, 42" cabs, quartz counter tops & Cafe stainless steel appliances. The separate dining space overlooks the peaceful covered porch with Ipe tongue and groove flooring & stain resistant PVC railings. Two bedrooms and a full bath complete the main level.

The upper level includes a bright and airy primary bedroom with custom built and designed California Closet, cozy window seat with storage space, a linen closet, and an additional storage closet. New lighting, fan and Mini Split system were installed in 2022/2023. The upper-level bath was recently renovated in 2023. The second upper-level bedroom has a new Mini Split system (2023), new lighting, and plenty of space with a closet. An office space in the upper-level hallway is the perfect spot to work or would be a great reading nook!

The walk-up lower level provides a finished family (Bonus) room – which works great as a playroom, den or movie room. The unfinished side of the lower level provides a laundry area with a tremendous amount of storage, spanning the length of the home.
