Property is new construction or fully renovated.
While originally built in 1945, the property has undergone a substantial modern renovation and addition. The interior features a contemporary primary suite, updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, and modern flooring and lighting throughout. The addition of high-value systems like owned solar and EV charging, combined with the mint condition of the landscaping and exterior, places this in the excellent category.
The property is equipped with high-value upgrades including owned solar panels, EV charging, and a two-car garage, offering significant long-term utility savings and modern convenience.
A substantial addition has created a rare 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom single-story floor plan featuring a spacious primary suite and expanded dining area, ideal for both accessibility and entertaining.
Situated on a corner lot just south of Adams Avenue, the home offers exceptional access to popular neighborhood cafes, boutiques, and restaurants in a highly sought-after historic community.
Being located directly across from Franklin Elementary School results in significant vehicle congestion, pedestrian activity, and noise during morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up hours.
The immediate assigned schools, including the elementary and middle schools, have lower performance ratings (4/10), which may be a drawback for families prioritizing top-tier public education.
There’s more to discover here than you might expect from the street. Set back on a corner lot, this thoughtfully updated Kensington home offers 1,492 square feet of single-level living with abundant natural light and a floor plan designed for both everyday comfort and entertaining. A substantial addition created a spacious primary suite along with an expanded dining area, laundry room and powder room. The kitchen opens naturally to the dining space, while outdoor areas provide inviting places for morning coffee, al fresco dinners, gardening or simply unwinding at home. Practical upgrades add even more appeal, including a two-car garage, owned solar and EV charging. Located directly across from Franklin Elementary and just south of Adams Avenue, the home puts neighborhood cafés, restaurants, shops and local favorites within easy reach. Classic Kensington character, meaningful updates and an easy one-story layout come together in a home that’s ready for its next chapter.
