About This Home

As of November 2023

Lenox Rd. is a quaint storybook road in the middle of Kensington that offers its residents stunning Bay views and close proximity to Arlington shops, Colusa Cir, Solano Ave and El Cerrito’s prime amenities. 50 Lenox Road captures the true essence of Kensington’s charm with its idyllic architecture, mild topography, and views from its many windows. The 1937-built home has been lovingly maintained by its family for decades preserving many of its original details while modernizing it in smart ways to maintain the home’s longevity. The home features a generous 3,034 sq. ft. on 3 levels with an oversized living room bookended by 2 private outdoor areas as well as a formal dining room with built-in shelves, a breakfast room, and a hip kitchen that mixes mid-century and modern upgrades all of which center around the focal point of stunning Bay views. The home provides 5 bedrooms that include an ensuite, 2 bedrooms that connect to a private balcony patio, and 2 lower-level bedrooms perfect for guests and garden access. In addition to its many formal rooms, there is a spacious secondary living room on the lower level that connects to the rear yard with its generous gardens, decks, and untapped yard space. The rear yard offers space to dine, entertain, garden, and draw on your imagination.
