Wonderful home on a south west facing corner lot in the best part of Kensington. Large front yard, spacious private back yard with avocado and orange trees plus attached 2-CAR garage. LIGHT & BRIGHT CHARMING HOME with lots of potential and many upgrades!
KENSINGTON - This upscale enclave on the southeast rim of Mission Valley is picturesque, with attractive (and pricey) Spanish-styled homes. It's a peaceful pocket amid the hubbub of the inner city. There's a tiny business district along the single main artery Adams Ave. Known for its distinct California Spanish-style single family homes, Kensington was developed in 1926. Between its storybook residences and quaint village center on Adams Avenue, Kensington has the most small-town charm of any enclave in San Diego. Young families occupy the town center’s Kensington Park, adjacent to the public library are landmark eateries such as Ponce's who has has been serving Mexican food and killer margaritas since 1969. Recently Stehly Farm Market recently opened it’s doors and Papalecco Coffee House plans to open soon. Haven Pizzeria, Pappaleco’s, Ponce’s, Cucina Sorealla, Blue Boheme & Kensington Café are also local favorites!
