About the Listing CCBE-CCABI02 - CCBE-159509313

Rare 6BD Kensington Retreat with an Expansive Yard, Designer Kitchen, and Prime Location! OPEN WED 4-7PM SAT & SUN Beautifully reimagined Tudor-inspired home on one of Kensington’s beloved tree-lined streets bordering Berkeley, offering the rare combination of 6 spacious bedrooms, a large usable yard, and stunning modern updates throughout. Located on the Kensington/Berkeley border and near award-winning Elementary, this is the kind of neighborhood where neighbors gather, kids play outside, and daily conveniences are just moments away. Just blocks from Kensington with Young’s Market, Semifreddi’s, coffee, parks, and Inn Kensington Restaurant. The heart of the home is the incredible open-concept kitchen, dining, and living space designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. Filled with natural light, the main level blends timeless character with thoughtful updates including an original fireplace, built-in cabinetry, wide-plank flooring, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The chef’s kitchen features a dramatic waterfall island, high-end stainless appliances, abundant storage, and beautiful views of the backyard. The flexible and highly sought-after 6-bedroom layout offers room for guests, offices, multigenerational living, au pair possibilities, gym space, or creative studios. The expansive lower-level primary retreat feels like a private sanctuary with direct backyard access and a spa-inspired bath featuring a soaking tub set within an oversized walk-in shower. Outside, the large backyard is a true extension of the home with patios for entertaining, mature fruit trees, raised veggie beds, and magical spaces to play, relax, garden, or alfresco dining. The whimsical pirate ship play structure adds charm and imagination, while the generous lot offers rare versatility and space that is increasingly hard to find in Kensington. Extensively updated systems provide peace of mind, including newer electrical and foundation improvements, allowing buyers to enjoy the character of a classic Tudor with the comfort and reliability of modern infrastructure. Ideally located with easy access to Solano Avenue, Tilden Regional Park, hiking and biking trails, and some of the East Bay’s most loved neighborhood amenities. Rarely does a home offer this much space, charm, functionality, yard, and location all in one package.
