Tucked at the end of a cul-de-sac & backing to Tilden Park, 605 Plateau Dr. is a truly exceptional residence. This custom mid-century modern gem offers a rare blend of privacy, design, and connection to nature on 4 expansive lots totaling 0.79 acres.* With just 2 owners since its creation, this 3 bed, 2 bath home has been meticulously maintained, preserving its authentic architectural character. Inside, you'll find hallmark mid-century elements: clean lines, open spaces, natural finishes, & walls of windows that invite the outdoors in. Original hardwood floors grace the living and dining rooms, while reclaimed heart pine flooring—sourced from historic Treasure Island pylons—adds warmth to the den, hallway, & bedrooms. Two fireplaces bring cozy focal points to the living spaces. The kitchen balances beauty and functionality with wood cabinetry and a striking custom mosaic backsplash. A glass door opens onto the patio, perfect for enjoying seamless indoor-outdoor California living. With 1,919 square feet*, central air conditioning, high-end appliances, and a 2-car carport, the home also features a charming chicken coop, the perfect tree for a swing, and enough land to let your imagination run wild. Though it feels like a retreat, you're just minutes from the heart of Kensington.
