About This Home

As of March 2024

Welcome to one of Kensington's best with this 1931 classic Spanish in the far north end of the neighborhood that boasts a 3 BD / 2 BA main home along with a detached 1 BD / 1 BA legal ADU with separate entrance. This stunning single-level residence has been meticulously remodeled to seamlessly blend timeless charm with modern conveniences and has a great chance of being historic with a Mills Act designation for huge property tax savings! Step into the formal living room and be captivated by the exquisite barreled ceiling, adding an elegant touch to the space. Original hardwood floors flow gracefully throughout, providing a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the home. The heart of this home is a chef's delight, featuring a great breakfast nook, silestone countertops, a butcher block island, and ample storage. Whether you're entertaining guests or preparing a gourmet meal, this kitchen is sure to impress! One of the unique highlights of this property is the detached ADU, providing an additional living space with a full kitchen and bathroom. With a separate entrance from the main home, the ADU offers privacy for extended family, guests, or use it as a space to entertain with multiple French doors that lead to the inviting space. The outdoor spaces are equally enchanting, with a meticulously landscaped yard and patio areas for relaxation and al fresco dining. Enjoy the perfect Southern California weather in your own private oasis. One of Kensington's best locations with walkability to the village, which boasts award winning restaurants, coffee shops and great shopping!
