Welcome to this spectacular Mid-century Modern home in lovely Kensington. It's about space, light, and style. The living room and dining room merge to enjoy the SF & Bay views, deck access, and luminous cathedral ceiling. High quality updates to kitchen and baths hit the modern notes beautifully. Space and flexibility are plentiful with a huge sunroom upstairs and family room down. Even the laundry room is big enough to double as an office, study, or craft room. Take modern living a step further with solar panels with Tesla battery backup. All this, just a couple blocks above Colusa Circle and near the best of Berkeley's dining & shopping.
