WELCOME to Kemptown Road! A beautifully renovated 4-bedroom, 3-full-bath Craftsman-style bungalow blending timeless character with modern farmhouse updates, and almost 2,000 sq. ft. of finished open living space! This cozy, yet expansive home features fresh paint throughout, newly refinished original hardwood floors, and impressive Craftsman-era wood trim. Original woodwork, solid wood doors, and vintage hardware have been carefully restored, preserving the home's historic charm while incorporating modern conveniences. The updated kitchen offers new cabinetry, granite countertops, and newer appliances. The original cast iron farmhouse sink remains as a centerpiece, and has been updated with modern plumbing. Large, bright rooms throughout the home showcase beautifully restored original finishes. The main level includes a spacious bedroom or home office, along with a full bath featuring a beautifully restored clawfoot cast iron tub. An enclosed all-season porch/storage area just off the kitchen provides additional storage space and convenient access to the expansive, level backyard. Upstairs, you'll find two generously sized bedrooms, each with large closets and additional storage, along with a second full bathroom. The fully finished lower level adds exceptional versatility and living space. Ideal as a fourth bedroom, recreation room, guest suite, or entertainment area, it features ceramic tile flooring throughout, a full bathroom, a small kitchenette, and a private walkout entrance. This flexible layout is ideal for a roommate, in-law suite, or multi-generational living arrangement. Additional improvements include conversion to public water service, and newer dual zone HVAC! The large, flat backyard offers endless possibilities and includes original outbuildings that add to the property's historic appeal. An original barn-door garage provides covered parking or equipment storage, and the driveway is being freshly paved to create additional off-street parking. All plumbing, electric, roof, and HVAC are only 2 years old adding additional peace of mind! A large covered front porch provides a space for morning coffee, or a relaxing evening just the same. If you're looking for a classic Craftsman era farmhouse with modern updates, abundant character, and a convenient location close to everything, this is the home you've been waiting for.

AR
Agricultural Reserve Zone
The intent of the AR zone is to promote agriculture as the primary land use in areas of the County designated for agricultural preservation in the general plan, the Functional Master Plan for Preservation of Agriculture and Rural Open Space, and other current or future master plans. The AR zone accomplishes this intent by providing large areas of generally contiguous properties suitable for agricultural and related uses and permitting the transfer of development rights from properties in this zone to properties in designated receiving areas; Agriculture is the preferred use in the AR zone. All agricultural operations are permitted at any time, including the operation of farm machinery. An agricultural use cannot be restricted on the grounds that it interferes with other uses permitted in the zone but uses that are not exclusively agricultural in nature must satisfy additional use standards or the conditional use approval process; The intent of the child lot option in the AR zone is to facilitate the continuation of the family farming unit and to otherwise meet the purposes of the AR zone.
