What a gem! Level into almost all level living, a step down to a spacious and inviting living room with fireplace flanked by bookcases on either side with doors leading to wonderful deck. The bedroom wing is neatly separated from the main living area by a few steps affording peace and privacy. A warm and inviting home with natural wood peaked beamed ceilings and charming details throughout. The updated kitchen neighbors the dining room and a versatile family room with a half bath, and laundry. The garage has interior access to the home. The home is set back on the lot and you enter into a lovely deep private garden. The home sits on a 5,500-square-foot lot that backs up to EBMUD's reservoir which has been recently renovated and landscaped. You look at greenery and flowers meant to invite butterflies and bees. There is a deck off the living room- great for entertaining, relaxing & enjoying the tranquility. Easy access to hiking trails, Tilden Park and Kensington Village. Public transportation stops at the corner of Grizzly Peak which takes you to U.C. Berkeley, downtown, and BART. So many amenities are nearby. Located in the awarded Kensington Hilltop school zone which is reached by foot by way of the 'Ye Ole School' traveled by families and those taking a stroll for generations.
