From the moment you arrive, you’ll be captivated by the home’s classic architectural details, picturesque setting, and sweeping views that stretch across the canyon and beyond. Step inside to find arched doorways, hardwood floors, coved ceilings, and original architectural details that showcase the craftsmanship of the era. The kitchen is a true centerpiece of the home, thoughtfully renovated to preserve its period character while incorporating contemporary function and a bonus with paid off solar.

Out back, multiple sitting areas invite you to relax, garden, or dine al fresco. You'll love owned solar and a detached office located under the deck. Perfectly located on one of Kensington’s most walkable streets, this home places you just steps from the best the neighborhood has to offer. With its rare combination of original charm, tasteful updates, scenic views, and unmatched location, this is the kind of property that doesn’t come along often.
