Description

(510) 219-1387
Unique opportunity to experience a turnkey stay in the beautiful East Bay hills in this 4 bed, 2 bath Kensington home. Available for one year starting June, this fully-furnished home features a grand living room with views of the bay, tastefully modern upgrades combined with mid-century charm, and a smart, functional floorplan!

At the heart of this well-designed, well-cared-for home is the beautifully-remodeled, eat-in kitchen. Equipped with gorgeous cabinetry, high-end appliances, and wall-to-wall windows, the kitchen is perfect for cooking meals with loved ones, hosting friends and family, and breakfast conversation.

From the kitchen, the floorplan meanders into either the outdoor patio, living quarters, or the dining/living area. Two separate wings with two bedrooms each are on either side of the living room, making for a good separation of space and multiple configurations for home offices, guests, or families. The attached two-car garage comes with an electric car charger and direct access to the interior.

Long a popular stay for UC Berkeley faculty, Kensington is an ideal choice for a sabbatical home for visiting scholars and the like. Enjoy a safe, quiet, and close-knit community. Quaint, tree-lined streets lead to neighborhood favorites like Young's Market, Inn Kensington, Benchmark Pizza, and Circus Pub. A quick and easy commute to Berkeley and several good commute options to San Francisco by BART or Ferry and minutes to Tilden Park (hiking, mountain biking, Little Farm) and shops and restaurants in Berkeley, Albany, and El Cerrito.

    "1962 just called and it wants Kensington back. In many great ways, but also some sleepy ways. Super cute. Super convenient little hamlet. Brutal commute to San Francisco"
