Property Description
A modern Spanish revival on the coveted Adams Avenue loop in Kensington, this 1920s gem has been completely reimagined with nearly $950,000 in upgrades since 2021—offering the soul of vintage architecture with the comfort and ease of new construction. Thoughtfully redesigned in 2024 by Union Design in collaboration with Vivo Design Studios and Union Architecture, every inch was elevated with intention. The heart of the home is a stunning white chef’s kitchen with arched windows, high-end appliances, and French doors that open to a private backyard with adobe-style fireplace. The main level features a full ensuite bedroom, a formal living room with original fireplace and picture windows, a dining room, built-in office nook, and a laundry room with storage. Upstairs, a newly added primary suite features a spa-inspired bath with heated floors, walk-in shower, and a private deck with treetop views. Two more bedrooms with new mini-split A/C units and a stylish second bath with Carrara chevron tile complete the floor. The finished garage with La Cantina doors and A/C is ideal as a creative studio or gym, while the 1BD/1BA suite above offers flexible use as a guest house, office, or future ADU. With paid solar, EV charging, new ABS plumbing, and fully modernized systems, this home blends form and function beautifully—just blocks from vibrant Kensington, yet tucked away from through-traffic.
