Fabulous property with endless possibilities. Perfect for either a savvy investor or creative homeowner. Originally built in 1924, the home sits on an expansive 11,280 sq. ft. lot with breathtaking views of the Bay and surrounding hills. Great opportunity for remodel, expansion, or possible addition of an ADU. The large lot may also be eligible for subdivision, providing even more possibilities for development. The generous front and rear yards are a gardener's dreamscape! Located on a quiet cul-de-sac, close to parks, hiking trails, Kensington Village shops and restaurants, and the highly acclaimed Kensington Hilltop Elementary School. This property provides the perfect canvas to create a dream home in a beautiful and highly sought-after location.
