Property Description

Here's your chance to create something special on one of Avondale Estates' most desirable streets. 17 Kensington Road is a 4-bedroom, 3-bath brick traditional with great bones, a generous floorplan, and the kind of potential buyers are looking for in today's market. Well cared for over the years, this home is ready for a fresh vision; update the kitchen and baths, bring your style, and make it completely your own. Inside, you'll find bright and spacious living and dining rooms, a cozy den with a fireplace and built-ins, and a main-level bedroom and bath for guests or office space. Upstairs offers a large primary suite and two additional bedrooms, all with hardwood floors. The drive-under garage adds extra storage and plenty of space for hobbies, projects, or the classic basement workshop setup. Outside, the side deck provides a peaceful spot to enjoy your morning coffee, grill with friends, or take in the tree canopy over the deep, shaded lot that backs up to one of Avondale's beloved neighborhood commons. Avondale Estates is a true community with walkable streets, parks, and restaurants nearby. Plus, the city is actively redeveloping its retail corridor, adding more dining, shopping, and gathering spots-making now the ideal time to invest here. In a tight real estate market, homes on Kensington Road don't come up often. Bring your contractor, your Pinterest boards, and your imagination, and turn this well-maintained home into the one you've been dreaming about.
