What a beautiful setting! Directly across the street from Overton Park and a lush, private backyard; this home is truly in the middle of one of the most desirable locations of Homewood, but feels like you are in a private sanctuary. This 4- bedroom, 4.5- bath home has a 5th bedroom option that is perfect for guests. The main level is spacious with a living room, den, dining room and a large kitchen that opens onto a fantastic porch overlooking the backyard. The high ceilings give the home a grand feel with an inviting layout. The bedrooms are all big and the master suite is one of the larger ones you will find in Homewood. The two- car garage is a rare find in the area and the overall location is hard to beat. Just blocks to Homewood Park/Pool, the library, 18th Street and the elementary school. The combination of location, size and privacy make 1735 Kensington hard to beat. Schedule you visit today.
