    What's special

    Fantastic views of the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco from this charming 3 bedroom plus den/office/media room house high in the Kensington hills. An upgraded kitchen has a gas stove/oven for gourmet cooking. A full laundry room located next to the one-car garage incorporates a built-in desk and large workbench. Built in the 1930s, this home retains its original design details: - Original hardwood floors which are unique and basically irreplaceable - 12" knotty pine fluted paneling in the den/office space - Rough-hewn timbers form the ceiling in the main living rooms - Vintage 1930 doorbell chimes, front-door viewing port - Workbench built in the 1950s with a sturdy, built-in vise This truly unique house is located within 2 blocks of the AC Transit 67 bus line and is 10 minutes driving to the UC Berkeley campus. Renter pays for electricity, gas, water, cable tv (if desired), garbage and recycling. No smoking. Owner pays for periodic yard maintenance, plus the existing high-speed fiber internet service. No potted plants are allowed on the hardwood or carpeted surfaces, to prevent water damage. Multi-year lease term is preferable.
