Bay views and modern California living await in this completely upgraded 2BD/1BA Mid-Century with detached work space, perched in the Kensington Hills. The 1064 SQFT home lives large with seamless indoor/outdoor flow, and it’s been stylishly renovated for comfort and convenience including solar panels, EV charging, and a new heat pump/air conditioning system. Fire up the gas fireplace and relax in the home’s sunny living room, admiring the Golden Gate views out your picture window. Built-in bookshelves, plantation shutters, and gorgeous hardwood floors span into the dining room. The adjacent kitchen boasts custom cabinetry, stonework and tiling, top-of-the-line appliances, and interior access to the large 1-car garage with laundry area and storage. Two generous bedrooms enjoy roomy closets, ceiling fans and share the upgraded full bath.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
