About This Home

As of March 2024

Tucked away on a charming country lane, this enticing split-level home is freshly updated and awaiting its next chapter. With wide plank oak floors, beamed ceilings, and a handsome brick fireplace, it's the perfect retreat in the woods for sharing cups of tea in the afternoon, game nights, or romantic candlelight dinners. We invite you to visit this sunny and enchanting 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home and fall in love. Just a stone’s throw from the secret entrance to Blake Gardens, and around the corner from the library and the park, the location is also minutes from Kensington Village, and the Colusa Circle shops, restaurants, and farmers’ market. Lovely deck and garden with raised veggie beds. One-car attached garage and more!
