Property Description
Tucked onto one of Upper Kensington’s most coveted streets, this updated sanctuary effortlessly blends rustic cottage elegance with refined, modern comfort. From the moment you pass through the front gate, a flagstone patio and vibrant landscaping set a cheery, welcoming tone. Past the level-in entry, rich random-plank hardwood floors, gorgeous wood-casement windows, and vaulted ceilings create an intimate and, cozy refuge. Designed for both joyful entertaining and quiet contemplation, the main level flows seamlessly from an inviting living room—complete with an elegant gas fireplace—to an updated kitchen featuring sleek granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and abundant cabinet storage. A main-floor primary bedroom provides easy everyday living, while two additional bedrooms rest just half a story up with sunny views. An updated, spa-inspired bathroom thoughtfully completes the space, adding a touch of luxury to your everyday routine. Downstairs, a private garden-level library and office space with custom built-ins opens directly to the backyard, creating the ultimate backdrop for inspired remote work or creative writing. Beyond its charm, every inch of this home radiates quality and convenience—featuring a brand-new roof, an energy-efficient heat pump, and updated appliances. The picturesque 5,500 sq ft lot invites seamless outdoor living with its enclosed front flagstone patio and private backyard perfect for play and relaxation. Anchored by a generous double garage on a flat, accessible stretch of Grizzly Peak, you're ideally located steps from the Schoolhouse Trail to Hilltop Elementary, minutes to Tilden Regional Park, and moments from Solano Avenue, the Sunday Colusa Farmers Market, and effortless transit options to Berkeley, BART, and SF.
