About this home

A timeless expression of Spanish Revival architecture, this beautifully renovated Kensington home blends classic character with thoughtfully curated modern updates. A gracious formal entry welcomes you into a breathtaking living room where soaring barreled ceilings, an oversized arched picture window, a handcrafted tiled fireplace, and rich oak hardwood floors create a warm yet sophisticated first impression filled with natural light. The elegant dining room with a hand crafted tray ceiling flows effortlessly into the inviting family room, where a second fireplace creates the perfect setting for relaxing or entertaining. The chef's kitchen is as functional as it is beautiful, featuring quartz countertops, custom hand-painted tile accents, a Dacor gas cooktop, KitchenAid stainless steel appliances, a built-in beverage station with double refrigerator drawers, Arto Spanish Cotto concrete tile flooring, and a spacious breakfast area. A generously sized first-floor bedroom and full bath provide an ideal retreat for guests or multigenerational living. The generous primary suite serves as a peaceful retreat, featuring a spa-inspired ensuite with a dual vanity, oversized walk-in shower, and a luxurious soaking tub designed for ultimate relaxation. French doors open to a private backyard oasis designed for year-round enjoyment. The resort-inspired setting offers a sparkling saltwater pool, expansive patio space, and multiple areas for outdoor dining, lounging, and entertaining. Timeless Spanish architecture, designer finishes, and Kensington living at its finest.
