What's special
Set atop a small knoll in the wonderful community of Kensington, you will find this delightful cottage with outstanding panoramic views of San Francisco, the Bay and Mt. Tam. While winding your way to the front door, you encounter the first deck of this three deck home. Stop and enjoy your first glimpse of the fabulous views! The front entry leads to an inviting open living room and dining area just right for entertaining. The eat-in kitchen has been nicely updated with newer windows and a bay window which invites you to sit and relax. Two spacious bedrooms and a nicely appointed bath round out the remainder of rooms in this cute cottage. A large lower level accessed from the side yard holds your laundry area, another potential room and offers plenty of storage or even a workshop.
Just outside the kitchen is a large deck and brick side patio which offer you privacy and serenity. You have plenty of room for a BBQ or just relaxing. Meander up the path to your third (and largest) deck complete with a built-in bench and enjoy your “top of the hill” view!
Enjoy the many benefits of living in charming Kensington! The Arlington Boulevard shopping area has everything you need. Read more about the Kensington area at www.117Lawson.com.
