About this home

There’s so much to love about this serene and flexible 4 bedroom, 3 bath home in Kensington. Set back off the street near the top of Purdue Avenue, this home exemplifies the perfect combination of style and comfort. The updates have been done with attention to detail and seamlessly blend with and enhance the original charm of the 1930s construction. The open floor plan has a great-room feeling with the kitchen, dining room and living room. The updated modern kitchen features a sunny, east-facing breakfast nook. The dining and living rooms are west-facing, and offer afternoon sun & vistas. The 2 bedrooms and bath upstairs are nicely separated from the common living space. The 2 bedrooms and bath, family room, laundry room, ample storage and 2-car garage with electric car charger, complete the downstairs. Near Tilden Park Nature Area & Kensington's charming shopping districts with groceries, restaurants, a gourmet cheese shop, pub, Semifreddi's bakery and a Sunday farmer’s market!
