One of the last untouched ranchers on Kensington, sitting on a double lot. .. .. .and directly across from Mayfair Park. Loved by one family since 1960. The possibilities are endless. Take a look at the pics and you will see with your own added touch it would be a jewel. There are walk up steps in the hallway to the attic. Full basement partially finished adds to the charm. Hurry before your chance is gone to own one of the best locations in Homewood.
