Property Description

Perched in the coveted Kensington hills, 155 Purdue Avenue is a beautiful 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offering 1,994 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space on a serene 4,600 square foot lot. The home's low split-level layout flows effortlessly from a welcoming main level to an upper retreat featuring a cozy reading alcove, two spacious bedrooms each with private balconies and views, and a luxurious adjoining en-suite bath complete with a jetted tub, separate stall shower, and double vanity. The inviting living room showcases a gas fireplace insert framed by bay windows that frame the Golden Gate Bridge, a sightline that carries all the way from the backyard's corner landing through the kitchen and into the living room. The rear of the home features an eat-in kitchen and sunken family room with soaring ceilings and windows that open to a level and well maintained backyard. Downstairs, a laundry room, half bath, and interior-access to the single-car garage with a new garage door and opener with camera that is Wi-Fi enabled. Fresh interior and exterior paint, refinished hardwood floors throughout, new hardwood in the family room, staircase, upper bedrooms, and landing, make this home truly move-in ready! Zoned for Kensington Hilltop School with access via the Ye Olde School Trail, and just moments from Tilden Park, Little Farm, Kensington Village shops and dining, Solano Avenue, and downtown Berkeley - this is Kensington living at its finest!
