Upon approach, you are greeted by a private fenced-in garden with fruiting passion fruit vine leading into the entry & main living space with expansive views of the Bay, San Francisco, and multiple bridges. The unobstructed view of the Golden Gate Bridge from the back deck is incredible. With high-end stainless steel appliances, quartz countertop, and tile backsplash, the kitchen is a star of the home. Upstairs sit two large bedrooms and one designer bathroom, with a walnut vanity and designer tile. Down from the main level is the central family room providing a second main living space. This connects to two more bedrooms and a second remodeled full bathroom. The large bedroom off the back of the house offers a wall of windows overlooking the professionally landscaped back garden and has expansive views. The back garden has a new lower deck, with views, a level lawn and veggie beds for your inner gardener. If that isn’t enough, there are seismic improvements, a newer furnace + AC, updated electrical, copper plumbing, sewer compliance, low pest, zoned top-performing Kensington Elementary, large laundry room, and attached garage.
