About This Home
As of July 2021The Historic Rock House is perfectly located at the nexus of Kensington & Normal Heights on a triple-sized lot with mature gardens. Widely known for its natural cobblestone facade, The Rock House is historically designated with Mills Act in place for your property tax savings. Featuring original hardwood throughout, remodeled kitchen with Viking appliances, updated baths, solar power & EV charging in the full two-car garage. Primary bedroom has ensuite that overlooks spa & garden. Best yet and rarely found in our urban neighborhood, The Rock House has a full basement that walks out to the backyard where you will escape into the meandering garden where citrus, avocado, and the sensual smell of jasmine call you home. Spacious, historic with Mills Act, modern, and walkable to EVERYTHING along Adams Ave, including our neighborhood park! Basement is nearly 400sqft (not included in size) with half bath! The garden is on fully automatic irrigation and features a relaxing pergola and plants galore: Boysenberry, Eureka Lemon, Mexican Key Lime, Navel Oranges, Pomegranate, Fuerte & Haas Avocado, Passion Fruit, Seedless Grape Vines, Red and Purple Potatoes, Ornamental Plumerias, and Surrounding Honeysuckle and Nasturtiums.
