Property Description
Located in the heart of north Kensington, this beautifully preserved 1925 Spanish-style home captures the perfect blend of character, warmth, and timeless design. Step inside and you're immediately greeted by dramatic barreled ceilings, original wood floors, and a stunning Batchelder fireplace that sets the tone for the home's classic charm. The kitchen is both beautiful and functional, featuring stone floors, granite countertops, and rich wood cabinetry, with a cozy breakfast nook accented by original built-ins and Venetian plaster walls. Upstairs, the entire level is dedicated to the primary suite-a private sanctuary complete with a beautiful fireplace, French doors that open to sweeping eastern views, and a balcony overlooking your own backyard oasis. Outside, the setting is pure magic: a private backyard with lush landscaping and a resort-like pool perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or soaking in the San Diego sun. Behind the garage, two additional rooms and a full bathroom offer incredible flexibility-ideal for a pool house, guest suite, home office, or creative studio. The home also features fully paid-off solar panels, offering energy efficiency and peace of mind for years to come. Set within one of San Diego's most beloved neighborhoods, this home offers the best of Kensington living-tree-lined streets, a strong sense of community, and the convenience of being just a short stroll from the village's charming restaurants, cafés, and boutique shops. A true Kensington treasure, blending classic Spanish architecture with modern comfort.
