Property Description

Classic Kensington! This enchanting Spanish single-story Hacienda is ideally situated on a quiet street close to the Village and north of Adams Avenue. Exquisitely appointed throughout, with exceptional attention to detail, this is the ultimate Kensington home in which to simply move in and relax. The main house offers two bedrooms and two baths, plus an additional room currently configured as a luxurious walk-in closet that could potentially become a third bedroom, all conveniently located under one roof. The formal living and dining rooms are warm and inviting, while soaring ceilings and a stunning original Batchelder fireplace add character and architectural distinction. The remodeled kitchen is worthy of any chef and beautifully complements the home’s classic Spanish aesthetic. A detached studio with its own half bath provides an abundance of flexibility and could serve as a guest bedroom, office, gym, creative space, or any number of other uses. Square footage reflects both the main house and studio. Step outside to discover your own private retreat: a welcoming pool and spa surrounded by a covered patio and generous space for seating and entertaining throughout the rear garden. The setting is exceptionally private and designed for enjoying the best of indoor-outdoor Kensington living. Multiple storage sheds provide ample additional storage. With its timeless architecture, thoughtful updates, flexible spaces, and wonderfully private outdoor setting, this is a special Kensington property that truly invites you to move in, relax, and enjoy.
