    What's special

    Welcome home to your private garden oasis! This stunning 3+ bedroom, 2 bathroom retreat is nestled beneath a majestic redwood tree on one of Kensington’s most coveted streets. Architecturally designed to blur the lines between structure and space, the peaceful flow between the house and backyard is perfect for entertaining or simply alfresco dining with your family. A recently remodeled custom kitchen opens to both a formal dining room and comfortable family room, both with vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light. The family room and living room each wrap around a calming stone hearth and a Malm Imperial Carousel wood burning stove for late night reading, conversation or cocktails. The flexible floor plan offers the possibility of four well-proportioned bedrooms, or three bedrooms with a home office or playroom. When outside, relax in the cedar hot tub or hammock while the kids slide down the play structure or have tea in their miniature cottage. Or, take advantage of “the shed,” effectively used as a music room, wine cellar and workshop.

    This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
