About this House

This authentically preserved Mid-Century has had only two owners. Initially built in 1952 by Robert Ratcliff for Dair A. Tandy, Ratcliff was engaged again in 1958 by Mr. and Mrs. J.J. Kukulan to design the lower-level expansion. In 1984, xeriscape-pioneering landscape architect, Kathryn Mathewson brought the landscape into harmony with Ratcliff's magnum opus. A surprisingly lush, drought-tolerant 10,500 sqft lot surrounds the property. Stone pathways and wooden walkways lead to level open spaces resulting in a natural playground, with trees to climb and safe spaces to run wild. Inside, a boomerang soffit orchestrates a graceful dance overhead, linking the entry, living room, and dining area. This floating melody is repeated in the sculptural lines of the roof as uplights accentuate the architect's illusion of a weightless structure. Exposed brick extends beyond the dining room's confines and through the large deck, blurring the boundaries between inside and out. Original redwood and the luster of copper accents conduct a visual chorus that is anchored by the impressive baritone of the metal fireplace. The fireplace is not the main attraction as floor-to-ceiling glass windows seem to bow to the forest beyond. Nary a curtain needs to drop as every outlook is uniquely private.

554 Coventry Rd, Kensington, CA 94707 is a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 2,884 sqft single-family home built in 1952. It last sold for $2,400,000 on Oct 2, 2023 (27% above the $1,895,000 asking price). This property is not currently displayed as for sale or rent on Trulia. The Trulia Estimate is $2,236,300, with a rent estimate of $7,109/month.

GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
This school really needs younger and more socio-economically diverse representation. They seem really out of touch to the life of modern working parents and it operates like a quasi-private school. Communications come from so many different sources so that it becomes really hard to stay informed. I was very disappointed to find there is also a lot of screen time going on in the classroom (maybe a problem everywhere these days?) Many of the teachers are burned out and retiring. Drop off and pick up is a pain because you have to park at the bottom of a large hill and it's a bunch of tight one-way streets. With that said, the new afterschool program (LLS) is the best addition; the staff are energetic, engaged and make school fun.
