Built in 1954, 329 Rugby is an exceptional example of mid-century architecture. Featuring all the hallmarks of its era - wood paneling, wood-and-beam vaulted ceilings, a brick fireplace - combined with stunning updates, this home is a once in a lifetime opportunity. The main floor features a beautifully updated kitchen and a spacious dining room with sliding doors from each space that open onto a private and curated backyard patio. With three bedrooms - one of which is an en-suite with a dedicated bathroom, and one bedroom with sliding doors to the garden - a spacious hallway bathroom and ample storage throughout, this living space represents a one level living. The thoughtful updates retained all the architecturally significant elements, a careful and artful balance. With Tesla solar panels and battery, a new roof (2023), a beautifully updated kitchen, and many other improvements, this home is the epitome of “move-in ready”. The gently terraced backyard garden is reminiscent of Blake Gardens and the UC Botanical Gardens, with dappled sunlight on cultivated garden beds and a meandering stone path. Zoned for Top-performing Kensington Hilltop Elementary school.
