At the end of a quiet court, tucked in the hills of Kensington, 4 Estates Rd is a 3BD/2BA level-in, level-out Mid-Century Modern with gorgeous bay views, bonus spaces, flat yard, multiple patios, and a detached 2-car garage (about 100K in recent improvements). The home’s open floor plan is enhanced by high beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, and expansive west-facing windows and glass doors that fill the rooms with natural light. The 1898 sq ft includes an open living and dining room, updated chef’s kitchen, and a sunny breakfast nook overlooking the bay. A spacious retreat, the large primary suite enjoys radiant heat and includes a sitting area featuring a glass brick wall, and French doors open onto the rear patio with a bay view. The adjoining luxurious bath has been remodeled with a beautifully tiled walk-in shower and a deep soaking tub framed by luminous glass brick. Two additional bedrooms - one with corner windows and views of the Golden Gate Bridge - share a remodeled bath. Lush greenery surrounds the home, and mature landscaping frames the expansive rear yard with a verdant lawn and large pergola-covered patio with bay and city views. An outdoor staircase climbs to a detached playhouse with incredible views that might inspire conversion to a private studio or workspace.
