    Single-level spanish beautySpanish tile accentsImmaculate original hardwood floorsStunning barreled ceilingGenerous counter spaceBeautiful gazeboAbundant cabinetry
    Perfectly positioned just steps from everything you love in Kensington Village, this single-level Spanish beauty w/ OWNED SOLAR blends classic character with effortless livability. From the moment you step inside, you’re welcomed by immaculate original hardwood floors, a stunning barreled ceiling, and a spacious living room anchored by a gas fireplace framed with rich wood built-ins. The layout flows seamlessly into a private dining room just off the kitchen — ideal for intimate dinners or hosting friends before strolling down to Adams Avenue. Natural light fills the home, highlighting its warmth and architectural details. The kitchen offers a warm and functional space designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. With generous counter space, abundant cabinetry, and a thoughtful layout, it flows naturally into the dining room while still maintaining its own distinct presence. The rear bedroom features charming doors that open directly to a serene, Zen-inspired backyard retreat. Thoughtfully designed with Spanish tile accents and a beautiful gazebo, the outdoor space feels like a private escape — ideal for morning coffee, al fresco dining, or quiet evenings under the stars. Mature landscaping enhances the sense of privacy while still allowing the space to feel open and inviting. A detached one-car garage provides convenience and flexibility — perfect for secure parking, additional storage, or even a creative studio space. Homes in Kensington at this price point — especially ones that are this turn-key and rich in original character — are exceptionally rare.
