Property description
This special property offers a rare opportunity to own two charming homes on one lot in coveted Kensington. A classic 1939 main residence and newly renovated 1940s one-bedroom cottage makes an ideal in-law, office space, or rental income. The main house offers wonderful curb appeal. Inside, large picture windows fill the living space with natural light. The dining room opens to a lovely brick patio that shines when entertaining at night. Enjoy quiet mornings in the delightful eat-in kitchen refreshed with new oak floors, quartz countertops & stainless-steel appliances. Two bedrooms, one with filtered golden gate views, share an updated bath. Below, the tandem garage & laundry area offers potential bonus space. Set beyond a lovely brick hardscape, the newly renovated 1940s cottage is truly special with big picture windows, new vaulted ceilings, updated electrical & lighting, wide-plank flooring, new kitchen, updated bath & new roof. Other improvements: past retrofitting, new drainage & sewer system, new sidewalk & expanded driveway for additional two cars!
