The home has a cool 50's vibe complete with a diner booth and Blue Star culinary stove in the kitchen and a wet bar in the living room. The lower level has a 2 car garage, a utility basement, and a finished basement that acts like a studio apartment with a separate entrance. Plus, there is a light filled art studio too. Complete with an enclosed front patio w/mature low maintenance landscaping and a huge backyard with a variety of fruit trees, flowers and edible plants - this home is a true gardeners dream! Solar power & greywater system installed. The house has had significant foundation improvements and seismic strengthening and is move-in ready. Top rated Kensington elementary school.
