This charming house has been cherished by the same family for decades, and when you visit, you???ll see why. Perched on a little hillside with views of SF Bay and breathtaking sunsets, this 1936 home has personality and versatility. Formal entryway opens to generous living room with open beam ceiling & fireplace. Two sets of French doors allow for excellent indoor/outdoor flow. Enjoy morning coffee, or gather with friends while overlooking the lovely view. The room off the entry hall has been used as a dining room, an office, and even as a 2nd bedroom. Kitchen and bath updated in 2014; new furnace installed July 2022. Front garden has an apple tree and water-tolerant plants; the backyard is a blank canvas for an urban farmer, avid gardener, or for possibly enlarging the home or an ADU (buyer to verify). Large garage at street offers great storage solutions. Excellent location close to the Kensington Village grocery store, hardware store, gas station, restaurant, bus line, and more.
