Built in the 1930s and extensively remodeled for modern living, this enchanting Kensington residence is a masterful blend of vintage Mediterranean architecture and sophisticated contemporary design. Filled with natural light, warmth, and character, the home offers exceptional privacy and a wonderful sense of soul. A charming wooden gate opens to an arched entryway and an inviting front courtyard—a secluded outdoor retreat that sets the tone for the home. Inside, an elegant foyer leads directly to the spacious living room, the heart of the house. An iconic fireplace, dramatic gabled ceiling with period detailing, and tall French doors opening to the courtyard create a setting that is both gracious and wonderfully intimate. The open floor plan flows into a generous dining area and an oversized, sun-filled kitchen, newly custom-designed with state-of-the-art appliances, sophisticated cabinetry, abundant counter space, and exceptional storage. Modern and elegant, the kitchen is designed for both effortless daily living and memorable gatherings. Sliding glass doors connect the kitchen to a spacious and versatile family or guest suite with a closet, full bath, and direct garden access. Upstairs, four additional bedrooms are arranged across thoughtfully separated levels. Two spacious bedrooms share a beautifully updated hall bath, while the upper garden-facing wing offers a heightened sense of privacy. The expansive primary suite is a serene retreat, featuring an enormous walk-in closet, luxurious bath, and sliding doors opening to the deck and gardens. An adjoining sunny office or bedroom provides an ideal workspace, nursery, or private guest room. Outside, the gently rising gardens offer peeks of the Bay and multiple level areas for dining, relaxing, play, and future planting. A gated driveway and attached one-car garage with interior access provide convenient parking and generous storage. Close to Kensington Elementary, the neighborhood shops and cafés of Arlington Avenue and Colusa Circle, and the magnificent trails and open spaces of Tilden and Wildcat Canyon regional parks. With convenient access to UC Berkeley, the greater East Bay, and San Francisco, this distinctive home offers a rare combination of architectural romance, modern comfort, privacy, and connection to nature.
