Property Description

This special property offers a rare chance to own two charming homes on one lot in coveted Kensington, one of East Bay's most beloved hillside neighborhoods. A classic 1939 main residence and a newly renovated legal 1940s one-bedroom cottage makes an ideal in-law, start-up office, or rental. The main home offers wonderful curb appeal with lawn & welcoming courtyard. Inside, period details accompany large picture windows that fill the living space with natural light.
