Property Description
Perched above the street in the heart of coveted Kensington, this 1925 Spanish-style gem masterfully blends historic charm with modern luxury. Echoing the neighborhood’s architectural legacy, it welcomes you with a harmonious mix of mission-style elegance and updated comfort. Step inside to original hardwood floors, a stunning living room with 10-foot barrel-vaulted ceilings, arched windows, and a stately Batchelder fireplace. Original built-ins add character and function, creating a warm space for cozy nights or sophisticated gatherings. A formal dining room showcases 9-foot coved ceilings, rich gumwood trim, and timeless appeal. The thoughtfully updated kitchen combines vintage charm with modern function and flows into a sunny morning room—ideal for relaxed meals or coffee chats. Tastefully renovated bathrooms maintain historic integrity while delivering today’s comforts. Each bedroom offers a serene retreat, with open-beam ceilings and French doors opening to a peaceful backyard—perfect for entertaining, al fresco dining, or quiet mornings with Rover. The original carriage house has been reimagined as a flexible bonus space—ideal for guests, a studio, or a home office. A long driveway fits five cars, plus an oversized two-car garage with laundry. A large income-generating ADU adds even more value and versatility. This is more than a home—a rare chance to own a reimagined piece of San Diego history.”
