Property Description

Nestled in a park-like setting, 71 Norwood Ave. sits on one of Kensington’s most beloved streets, where neighbors chat and life feels just a little slower. It is here where a simply sweet home lives and a magical garden unfolds—sun-drenched, private, and alive with charm. Set back from the street, this unassuming 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home features original Craftsman details combined with modern updates. The open living room and dining room are graced by untouched mouldings and built-ins, south-west facing wooden windows and a gas fireplace. Two bedrooms share a tastefully updated bath, while the cheerful eat-in kitchen delights with a beautiful backsplash and charming dining nook with a custom-built table and bench seating. Down a few steps, a cozy home office and a half bath opens through French doors to a serene garden retreat. Off the kitchen a deck awaits—perfect for morning coffee and early evening meals; wander down to the expansive yard, where sunlight pours in before softening into dappled shade beneath a majestic heritage oak. Take a seat and close your eyes; you will forget that you are only moments from the Kensington library, Young’s Market and the weekly farmer’s market—only to realize what a gem you have found in this small town.
