Welcome to 225 Arlington Avenue, located in the heart of beautiful Kensington. Offered for the first time since the 1950s, this cherished residence is filled with natural sunlight and captures inspiring views of the San Francisco Bay.

A spacious garage provides interior access to a large basement, along with ample additional storage & space for future projects . Outdoors, a pretty rear garden—always with something in bloom—offers a peaceful natural setting, perfect for family gatherings, relaxing summer days, and outdoor enjoyment. ?Ideally located just blocks from Village shops, Kensington Hilltop Sch, and neighbors Berkeley.
