About This Home
Welcome to a home that captures the heart of Kensington. A rare gem on a close-knit street near the neighborhood’s core, this house carries its history with ease—character intact, with upgrades that honor the past and elevate the present. Inside, the living room sets the tone with clean lines and unexpected details. A formal dining room brings a sense of occasion, and the kitchen—bright, refreshed, and anchored by a skylight—is designed to meet the rhythm of a serious cook. Two tranquil bedrooms rest on their own level, with a pink vintage bath adding just the right touch of nostalgia. French doors open to a backyard retreat, where fruit trees, a level lawn, and a sunlit patio create the perfect setting for easy gatherings. From here, the neighborhood unfolds with its own sense of magic: Around the corner, the Sunday farmers’ market at the circle buzzes with neighbors, fresh produce, and live music. Memorial Park is minutes away on foot, with sports courts, and playgrounds that draw the community together. And when it’s time for a night out, Solano Ave and Berkeley are close by, offering endless options. This is a sought-after pocket of the East Bay—where nature, culture, and community meet. Everything about this neighborhood says: welcome to the good life.
