Property Description

Love at first sight! Nestled on a coveted court in the lower Kensington Hills, this spacious and beautiful 1941 home was and always will be a "Timeless Classic." Filled with love, it has been the setting for numerous holidays, birthdays, and weddings. The gorgeous living room features high ceilings, large redwood planks, and a handsome wood-burning fireplace, spilling out to a large patio and a private grassy backyard flanked by majestic redwoods. The stylish custom eat-in kitchen offers plenty of cabinetry and counter space, with an attached media/family area opening to the backyard. Situated on a large, flat, and sunny 8,750-square-foot lot (per public records), this 2,606-square-foot home (per Open Homes Photography) features four bedrooms and three full bathrooms, including one bedroom and full bath on the main level. Upstairs, you will find three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, featuring a spacious primary suite and a front bedroom with sweeping bay views. Highlights include random plank and other oak hardwood floors throughout, double-pane windows, and a large attached two-plus car garage with a workshop area, skylight, interior access, plus two-car off-street parking.
