Description

Nature & Nurture!

A rare offering where nature, style, and sanctuary meet.

Tucked onto one of Upper Kensington’s most coveted streets, this recently updated sanctuary effortlessly blends rustic cottage elegance with refined, modern comfort. From the moment you pass through the front gate, a flagstone patio and vibrant landscaping set a cheery, welcoming tone. Past the level-in entry, rich random-plank hardwood floors, gorgeous wood-casement windows, and vaulted ceilings create an intimate and cozy refuge.

Designed for both joyful entertaining and quiet contemplation, the main level flows seamlessly from an inviting living room—complete with an elegant gas fireplace—to an updated kitchen featuring sleek granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and abundant cabinet storage. A main-floor primary bedroom provides easy everyday living, while two additional bedrooms rest just half a story up with sunny views. Downstairs, a private garden-level library and office space with custom built-ins opens directly to the backyard, creating the ultimate backdrop for inspired remote work or creative writing.

  • Cottage-Core Charm: Wood-casement windows, vaulted wood-paneled ceilings, and warm, character-rich hardwood floors throughout.
  • Indoor-Outdoor Flow: Enclosed front garden flagstone patio and a private backyard frame a picturesque 5,500 sq ft lot*. Perfect for entertaining, kid and pet play.

Kensington

Home to quiet, tree-filled neighborhoods, unique shops and tranquil parks.

Welcome to Kensington

Possessing the charm and appeal of a close-knit New England town, affluent Kensington is home to quiet, tree-filled neighborhoods, unique shops and tranquil parks. Nestled high up in the Berkeley Hills, Kensington real estate is marked by upscale homes with panoramic views of the sparkling San Francisco Bay and majestic Golden Gate Bridge. It's no wonder that this tiny unincorporated community is one of the Bay Area's most desirable places to live.
 
Although small in size, Kensington is large in stature. The 10-plus-acre Blake Garden serves as a landscape laboratory for UC Berkeley and is grounds for the Blake House, the former residence of the president of the University of California.
 
Nearby Tilden Park attracts generations of East Bay families who enjoy nature hikes, picnics, swimming, botanic gardens, and kid-friendly activities such as an old-fashioned carousel, steam train and pony rides.
 
Kensington's two picturesque shopping districts are lined with one-of-a-kind boutiques, restaurants and gourmet food shops where friendly shopkeepers greet customers by name.
