255 Grizzly Peak Blvd, Kensington, CA 94708

This unique and stylish mid-century home is situated on a serene private lot, just feet from the Tilden Nature Area. This well-built home combines classic 1950s flair with thoughtful eco-friendly upgrades. In a nod to Japanese design, an inviting path leads from the garden gate to the front door, heightening relaxation and helping separate the busyness of daily life from the serenity of home. Every window offers a view of lush greenery, which, coupled with skylights and a private patio, make this home feel like a retreat from the every day. Living space is all located on one level, with just a step or two to enter. The almost entirely level lot offers great opportunities for play, gardening, entertaining, or just relaxing. Upgrades made with an eye toward ecology, efficiency, and quality include solar panels, high-efficiency heating and water heating, stylish and efficient lighting, and surprising amenities such as a very quiet dishwasher, disposal, and garage door. Convenience was also a priority: a Nest thermostat and Rachio irrigation system, which can be controlled by apps, were also installed.
