Effortlessly charming! Behind the picket fence and past the delightful garden, you'll find a lovingly maintained and beautifully updated LEVEL-IN single-story 2+ bedroom / 2 bathroom Kensington home. The owner engaged a local architect and well-known Oliver Builders to remodel the kitchen, create a 2nd full bathroom and laundry area, and transform the interior of the converted garage into a light-filled home office or family room. Details like the divided light windows in the living room, hardwood floors, and the original front door were preserved. The remodeled kitchen has high end appliances, quality cabinets, pull-out pantry, and a desk area overlooking the garden. Both baths feature classic tile and heated floors! There are too many energy-efficient improvements to list, capped with a new roof in 2025. The hard work is done, so just sit back and smell the roses! A 2-car parking pad and a 200 amp panel makes EV charging possible. From this peaceful spot, Tilden Park is your backyard, the Village has a convenient grocery and hardware, Colusa Circle has a fabulous Sunday Farmer’s Market, and the best of Berkeley (including renowned UC Berkeley), Albany, and El Cerrito are all less than 15 minutes away.
