We invite you to visit this sunny and enchanting 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home and fall in love. Just a stone’s throw from the secret entrance to Blake Gardens, and around the corner from the library and the park, the location is also minutes from Kensington Village, and the Colusa Circle shops, restaurants, and farmers’ market. Lovely deck and garden with raised veggie beds. One-car attached garage and more!
