Step into a rare opportunity to own a magnificently reimagined two-family residence situated on a 58x100 lot in the heart of Kensington.  Expertly converted from its original single-family design while preserving its historic charm.  This home is a celebration of craftsmanship, character, and comfort- all elevated with modern enhancements for today's lifestyle.   

Inside you'll find original tin ceilings throughout, original hardwood floors that flow from room to room with timeless warmth, a fireplace that instantly becomes the heart of the living room.  Classic architectural details proudly remain, seamlessly blended with thoughtful upgrades including copper piping, newer roof, updated kitchen with an island & bath.  All the big-ticket items have been updated.   Home also features a bonus unfinished attic. 

As you step outside and discover a massive estate-like yard, a true outdoor sanctuary that was designed with relaxation and gatherings in mind.   Outdoor space has a charming gazebo, impressive custom outdoor kitchen, and stylish deck that create the perfect setting for relaxing and entertaining. 

Whether you're looking to generate income, host extended family, or create a private retreat, this flexible layout adapts gracefully to all your needs.  Truely a must see.
