Mid-Century Kensington Three Plus Bedroom With Bay Views - Set back from the street on the crest of a long driveway stands an exceptional Mid-Century home with San Francisco Bay views. This three-plus bedroom, two bathroom single family home is located in Kensington, a community known for its charm, Bay views, and outstanding school district. Entering from the front porch you are greeted by the attractive, bright, and airy spaciousness of the open floor plan and refinished hardwood floors that flow throughout the home. The living room has large picture windows, recessed lights and a brick fireplace that continues into the formal dining area with French windows and a door that opens up to the large level backyard with redwood trees, raised vegetable beds and assorted fruit trees; also ideal for al fresco dining and entertainment. The adjacent gourmet kitchen is equipped with white cabinets, black granite counters, and a stainless steel commercial grade stove. A well-placed laundry room is convenient to the kitchen and offers an exit to the backyard. Down a short hallway, with beautiful wood wainscoting, are the bedroom quarters that consist of three bedrooms and one bath. The bathroom on the main floor was intentionally kept in the period of the home to pay tribute to a bygone era. The lower area can be accessed from the interior of the home or through the two garage doors at the front. Engineered hardwood floors were installed on the concrete to warm the look and feel; this large bonus room is multi-functional for your personal needs. An updated full bathroom is attached to the bonus room that provides convenience and increases the usable area for this home to approximately 2,228 square feet with generous outdoor space.
