Charming updated 2BD/2BA home has much to admire, including LR with fireplace, refaced with tumbled stone tile, large windows that act as picture frames & add to the ambiance & hardwood floors throughout. Spacious formal dining room is a wonderful space for entertaining. A stylishly redone galley kitchen opens to the cozy breakfast room. A few steps lead to two generously sized bedrms, overlooking the lovely level garden & have benefit of the beautifully remodeled bathroom, which excites with its tasteful use of Italian porcelain tile on the floor & walls. A few steps down from the kitchen is the conveniently located laundry room. Adjacent is an additional bonus space that has been used as both an office and home gym. A second bathroom, renovated with small mosaic aquamarine tiles & modern vanity, adds flair. Step directly out to the splendid & spacious garden with fruit trees, level lawn & patio. In serene close-knit Kensington, this is a super house to call home.
