About This Home
As of July 2022Adorable cozy Kensington cottage on a gorgeous, tree-lined street! A spacious front porch greets you before entering the stunning living room with vaulted beamed ceilings, fireplace, and oak floors. Off the living area is a spacious eat-in kitchen with stainless steel appliances and plenty of cabinet space. Down the hall lies a secondary bedroom and a remodeled bath with designer finishes. The ample primary bedroom includes French doors that lead directly to the rear garden, creating a relaxing and light-filled space that feels connected to nature. The low-maintenance backyard has beds of succulents and lush plants, and a deck that’s perfect for relaxing and entertaining. The 1-car garage provides interior access to the kitchen and a laundry area. Great features like improved drainage, extra storage, and air conditioning, too! You’re just blocks away from coffee shops, Young's Market, and more in Kensington Village – an ideal blend of urban living meets the quiet of the hills.
