Property Description

Beautiful SF Bay + City views are just one of the many special features of this turnkey home in Kensington, a small, tight-knit community with picturesque homes and tree-lined streets. Located just minutes from the many amenities on Solano Ave and El Cerrito, this single-story home has been tastefully remodeled and updated in keeping with the original 1939 aesthetic. The home features 3+ bedrooms, 2 remodeled bathrooms, an open living/dining room, a kitchen family room combination, home office (potential 4th bedroom), and a 2-car garage. The beautifully remodeled kitchen (2021) has Fisher & Paykel/Bosch/LG stainless steel appliances, quartz counters and partial SF Bay views. Sun-drenched rooms + hardwood floors throughout. Beautiful Bay + SF city views from the living room, kitchen + primary bedroom. Has a spacious backyard deck and sunny patio with direct access from the house, and plenty of lush, mature landscaping that provides exceptional green screen privacy between neighbors. Fresh interior paint + newer exterior paint (2024). Extensive updates/improvements by the present owners (see Disclosures for full list). Located 1 mile to highly rated Kensington Elementary School, and 10 min to both El Cerrito BART stations + I-80. A lovely home in every way. Move right in!
