Description

Classic Kensington Spanish! Idyllic, peaceful, tranquil & resort like...a few of the adjectives that describe the setting for this two story Spanish on a three quarters of an acre lot that is arguably one of the best in Kensington. SF includes studio and extra room on attached lower level. The living room to the right of the entry with its coved ceilings and hardwoods with mahogany inlays is light filled. A formal dining room and a separate family/sitting room offer views to the canyon. The kitchen...Classic Kensington Spanish! Idyllic, peaceful, tranquil & resort like...a few of the adjectives that describe the setting for this two story Spanish on a three quarters of an acre lot that is arguably one of the best in Kensington. SF includes studio and extra room on attached lower level. The living room to the right of the entry with its coved ceilings and hardwoods with mahogany inlays is light filled. A formal dining room and a separate family/sitting room offer views to the canyon. The kitchen is spacious with a walk in pantry, stone counters and a beautiful breakfast nook squarely positioned to capture the breathtaking view! One guest bedroom and a tastefully upgraded and well appointed bath make up the main level. Main bedroom suite and bath are on the second level. The main bedroom is divided by a step up to the "bed area" with built in cabinetry/bookcases and a large dresser. The rest of the main suite would be perfect for a relaxation area, an office or perhaps a library/reading area. Outside is where significant beauty lies! Off the family room is a stunning deck with majestic views and a patio cover that closes to provide shade if needed. A few steps down to the main outside area is the large pool, more covered patio, spa, room to entertain large crowds all surrounded by the view and lush greenery including 11 fruit trees! An oversized two car garage has laundry, an extra room for an office, storage, play room, etc. Adjacent is a fully contained studio (3rd BR) with two separate entrances, 3/4 bath and counter w/sink. An ideal ADU or guest quarters!
