Welcome to 57 Kensington Street. This lovely Cape Cod located in the desirable Highland Park area has been expanded to generate an open floor plan which includes the addition of a large bright family room with vaulted ceiling and fan, bed room, den/office, and bath with shower stall. A wonderful airy 3 season porch with ceiling fan and windows located off the family room and accessed by a Dutch door. The first floor also includes a living room, dining room, open to kitchen, and full kitchen. Pocket doors between the family room and den area provide the option of a nice in-law space and is plumbed for a small kitchenette or wet bar. A private area just outside the sun room would be perfect for a patio or private hot tub. Large wall unit air-conditioners in the family and dining room keep the home comfortably cool. Many rooms have hardwood flooring and tile in the bathrooms. The upstairs features two bedrooms, with bunk beds in one and the other large enough to accommodate a sitting area. An additional bath with shower stall and plenty of closets and storage space. The attached garage, with attached shed, and large driveway, provide convenient parking for guests. The spacious back yard provides an area for outdoor fun and relaxation area for family and friends. There has been some recently painted rooms, electrical work, a newer roof, hot water heater and garage door. This wonderful home has been maintained and loved for many years and looking for someone to make it their own. As an additional feature, the home is just a short walk up the street to watch the much loved Thanksgiving morning "Manchester Road 5K Run", and enjoy the festivities with family, friends and neighbors.
