A fresh beachy feel this home has a peek of the Bay views. Rich light oak floors, an abundance of divided light wood windows and nice room proportions. Truly a surprising amount of space indoor and out. Floor plan affords future reconfiguration creating a third bedroom and a possible additional 1/2 or full bath within the current footprint. Sited on a rare double lot with nice sunny exposure. Bonus- campy out building could be office or workshop space- the garden is a child's paradise or an inspired gardens palette with endless possibilities. Super private setting and large side yards on either side. Updated kitchen with breakfast nook and a refreshed bathroom. Prime location on the border of Berkeley. Blocks to Tilden Regional Park, Kensington Park/Community Center and minutes to coastal trails and yet near sweet Village shops, public transportation stops (Trans Bay Bus) and beloved Kensington Hilltop Elementary school.
