Property Description

Perched in the Kensington Hills, this upgraded 4BR/2BA Mid Century offers stunning SF Bay views and easy California living in a tight-knit community. The 2466sf home welcomes you with a Mediterranean garden and vistas of the Golden Gate and Bay bridges. Inside, the over-sized living room is anchored by an inviting brick fireplace coupled with picture windows offering postcard views. Beautiful plank hardwood floors span into the dining room with large french doors onto a patio to entertain, unwind, and play. The heart of the home is the exquisite chef's kitchen with abundant space where family and friends can gather. Recently renovated with chic cabinetry, the kitchen enjoys top-of-the-line appliances including a Wolf stove and Sub-Zero beverage fridge, a large island with seating, and a wall of windows. Another sliding glass door to the patio makes for great dining al fresco. Four roomy bedrooms and two full baths tucked away for privacy; two in each wing (one side making an ideal primary suite with den/office or guest room). All bedrooms have custom closets and each room has garden or bay views. The home boasts storage galore and interior access to 2-car garage with EV charging and laundry. Out your front door, explore miles trails in the East Bay parks and Kensington village.
