About This Property

Rich in history and beautifully remodeled, this authentic 1925 Craftsman bungalow is a rare Kensington offering with historic status and an active Mills Act designation, providing substantial property tax savings. Ideally located just a short walk to Kensington Village, the home blends classic architectural charm with the walkable, community-centered lifestyle that makes this neighborhood so special. Original Craftsman character is felt throughout, from hardwood floors and preserved period details to the thoughtful updates that honor the home's architectural heritage. A formal living room welcomes you with a charming fireplace and custom built-ins, creating an inviting space for quiet evenings or intimate gatherings. Beyond, a grand, light-filled family room opens seamlessly to the kitchen, forming the heart of the home and an ideal setting for everyday living and entertaining. The remodeled kitchen features newer cabinetry, a farmhouse sink, generous storage, and a breakfast bar that keeps the space open, functional, and connected. Upstairs, the private primary retreat offers a spacious bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, along with a flexible additional room ideal for a home office, nursery, or optional bedroom-providing peaceful separation from the main living areas. Outdoor living is equally appealing with a lovely private backyard perfect for relaxing or hosting friends, plus a bonus artist studio off the garage, offering excellent flex space for creative work, a home gym, or studio. A timeless Kensington home where history, comfort, and lifestyle come together.
