DARLING South Kensington Spanish style 2BR/1BA home and detached 1BR/1BA bungalow, both with their own private fenced yard in a wonderful picaresque neighborhood, two blocks south of Kensington Village/Adams Avenue. The main house has original hardwood floors, coved ceiling detail and charming built-in bookshelves flanking the vintage tiled fireplace. The home includes a separate dining room and mud room (makes a great home office). The home includes new stainless appliances, quartz counters, A/C mini splits in the bedrooms and living room. THE BACK BUNGALOW WAS ORIGINALLY A 2-CAR GARAGE CONVERTED TO LIVING SPACE AT SOME POINT, BEFORE WE PURCHASED THE PROPERTY IN 2018. THERE ARE NO KNOWN PERMITS AND MAY NOT MEET CURRENT ZONING OR BUILDING REQUIREMENTS. The back bungalow was remodeled in 2024 by a licensed contractor and includes all new stainless appliances, plumbing fixtures, lighting, entry door, LVP, Plantation Shutters, and A/C heat-pump mini-split.
