Picture-perfect Tudor cottage on a leafy, cherished Kensington street that pairs storybook curb appeal with rare level-in convenience. A white picket fence frames half-timbered gables, an arched doorway, and a vintage front door, while fresh landscaping and a bay window brighten both façade and living spaces. The home blends timeless character with practical comfort: a refreshed kitchen with new cabinetry and mudroom, huge family and living rooms, multiple outdoor areas for entertaining, and even a “secret” office. The detached garage offers potential for an ADU, and upstairs the primary suite captures Bay and San Francisco views. Beloved by one family for decades, it’s ready for its next chapter. Beyond the doorstep, Kensington offers the charm of a hillside village with leafy paths and small-town calm. The Arlington shops make errands part of the charm; downhill, Colusa Circle hums with cafés, grocers, pizza, and the Kensington Circus Pub. Sundays sparkle with the Farmers’ Market—a festival of produce, flowers, and music.
