About this home
Classic Kensington! Single-story home perched on a spectacular canyon-view lot in a quiet, highly desirable location. Built in 1951 and exceptionally well maintained, this two-bedroom, one-bath home offers wonderful original character along with significant potential to expand and create your ideal Kensington residence. The original kitchen and bathroom feature beautiful period tile in pristine condition, preserving the charm of the era. A spacious family room captures the extraordinary canyon views and provides a wonderful connection to the outdoors. The generous side patio offers additional possibilities and could potentially be incorporated into an expanded floor plan—perhaps enlarging the kitchen or adding another bedroom and bath. Buyer to verify all possibilities and requirements. The living room features a fireplace (condition to be verified by buyer), while carpeting throughout may conceal original wood floors. An attached two-car garage plus a separate driveway provides ample parking. A rare opportunity to get started in Kensington, enjoy a home with exceptional character and views, and bring your vision for its future. This one is not to be missed!
