Property Description

Step into storybook charm in this 2 bed, 2 bath Tudor Cottage, perfectly situated in one of Kensington's most coveted neighborhoods—where tree-lined streets, Bay views, and a neighborhood village center meet everyday convenience. The sun-drenched living room features a beautiful vaulted, wood-beamed ceiling, built-in shelves, and a custom-designed fireplace hearth with gas insert, all framed by a stunning view of the Golden Gate Bridge. The updated kitchen has quartz counters yet maintains the home's period character with a charming breakfast nook with built-ins and a lovely view of the SF Bay, perfect for morning coffee or evening sunsets. The primary bedroom has a luxurious ensuite bath added in 2016, showcasing a custom sink from Italy and elegant Moroccan-style marble tile, creating a boutique-hotel feel. The tranquil backyard has two patio areas, a pergola with lights, and thoughtful landscaping for relaxing and entertaining. Everyday comfort is enhanced by a spacious laundry room and a garage with ample storage, while the brickwork driveway adds timeless curb appeal. Located just one block from Kensington Elementary and moments from the shops and restaurants along Arlington, this home also offers easy access to Tilden Nature Area trails for hiking and outdoor recreation. The trailhead for Ye Olde School Trail, offering beautiful views of Wildcat Canyon, is just up the road. Come home to breathtaking views and the rejuvenating peace of Tilden Park nearby.
