About This Home
This picture-perfect Tudor cottage on a leafy Kensington street pairs storybook curb appeal with rare level-in convenience. A classic white picket fence frames half-timbered gables, an arched doorway, and a vintage front door, while fresh landscaping and a bay window brighten the facade and living spaces inside. The home blends timeless character with practical comfort: a refreshed kitchen with new cabinetry and mudroom, huge family and living rooms, multiple outdoor areas for entertaining, and even a “secret” office. The detached garage offers potential for an ADU, and upstairs the primary suite captures Bay and San Francisco views. Beloved by one family for decades, it’s ready for its next chapter. Beyond the doorstep, Kensington offers the charm of a hillside village with leafy paths and small-town calm. The Arlington shops, make everyday errands feel like part of the charm. Colusa Circle hosts cafes, grocers, pizza, and the Kensington Circus Pub, while Sundays sparkle with the Farmers’ Market, a festival of produce, flowers, and music. Nearby Blake Garden’s terraces and ponds, Kensington Park’s courts, playgrounds, and trails, make daily life both easy and inspiring. As for the pool? Sing it with me now... “Darling, you’ve got to let me know, should I stay or should I go"!
