THIS MID-CENTURY BUNGALOW OFFERS ONE-LEVEL LIVING AT ITS FINEST.
From the moment you enter this magical one-level home, you are captivated by its true Mid-Century design aesthetics. The gleaming newly refinished hardwood floors, a fabulous living room with the fireplace as its central anchor, that flows perfectly into the dining room offer you just enough space to entertain — while giving you an open concept feeling — all silhouetted by views of the San Francisco skyline.
The kitchen’s inspiration was drawn from five original Mid-Century tile pieces that were carefully removed and preserved from the original kitchen and creatively blended and displayed as works of art on the stove’s backsplash all with newly updated modern Mid-Century touches throughout to marry the two worlds, old and new, together. New cabinetry, new appliances, new tile flooring, and other modern amenities, all added to give the new owner a sense of ease. A separate laundry area just off the kitchen gives more comfort to this wonderful floor plan.
The two bedrooms offer space and an abundance of storage with the closet’s built-in cabinets. The newly updated bathroom has a burst of fun with new Mid-Century lighting, new tile floors (2025), an updated vanity, and other wonderful additions.
The yard is an open canvas awaiting your green thumb. With so many possibilities your imagination can unfold and create the outdoor space you dream of. A level patio area for entertaining, a grassy area to play, a space to garden and display your floral gems, or just a space to soak in the sun. This large yard has it all.
Beyond the aesthetics, this home has plenty of practical upgrades to boast about. A newly replaced roof, two-car detached garage, new paint both inside and out (2025), sewer lateral complaint and so much more.
Situated in an incredible location, between lower and upper Kensington, this home is just moments from charming shops, restaurants, and cafés. Don’t forget the Farmers’ Market every Sunday! You’re also close to trails, offering endless opportunities to explore nature, and convenient access to public transportation makes commuting a breeze. Not to mention it’s zoned for Kensington Hilltop Elementary School (TK-6)*!
This home’s combination of one-level living, views, thoughtful flow, Mid-Century vibe, and prime location creates a wonderfully comfortable lifestyle.
*Any interested parties should verify the school district and availability, as attendance and attending the closest school is not guaranteed.

Why kensington?
Thanks to its proximity to the University of California, Berkeley campus, Kensington may boast the largest number of Nobel Prize winners of any community in the world. But one look at this neighborhood of large homes in the hilly streets above Berkeley, its commanding views of the Bay Area, and sunny terraced yards will explain why this community is one of the most sought after in the East Bay.
Famed architect Bernard Maybeck had a home on Purdue Street. The homes he designed here at the turn of last century have become an informal blueprint for the signature home in Berkeley. These well-proportioned homes are designed for family life and dinner parties. Shingle siding, rustic construction, and bright expansive vistas are the hallmark of the homes in Kensington.
There are two distinct shopping districts in Kensington, the Colusa Circle and the Arlington Shops.
Upper Kensington, also known as the Arlington shops area, you can find delights like the Arlington market, Arlington wine & spirits, and delicious food from the Inn Kensington. In the lower part of Kensington, also known as the Colusa Circle, you can head to the Farmers market every Sunday, dine at the delicious Benchmark Pizza or grab a coffee to go at Semifreddi's. Either area offers you a local vibe and plenty to do.
For those who love to explore, Kensington is filled with pathways that lead you to nature. The Blake gardens, Tilden park or just a local smaller spot to soak in the sun. Tilden Park provides the boundary to the east. Miles of biking and hiking trails, a miniature steam train, exhibition farm, merry go-round, and the naturally landscaped swimming hole at Lake Anza make Tilden a popular destination for families.
Transportation via Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) is convenient. Heading on Colusa Avenue leads to the El Cerrito Plaza BART station and a short drive down Arlington Avenue takes you to North Berkeley BART and North Berkeley's Gourmet Ghetto neighborhood.
A wonderful community set perfectly between several larger cities, Kensington is a hidden gem.
