Rich in history and beautifully remodeled, this authentic 1925 Craftsman bungalow is a rare Kensington offering with historic status and an active Mills Act designation, providing substantial property tax savings. Ideally located just a short walk to Kensington Village, the home blends classic architectural charm with the walkable, community-centered lifestyle that makes this neighborhood so special. Original Craftsman character is felt throughout, from hardwood floors and preserved period details to the thoughtful updates that honor the home’s architectural heritage. A formal living room welcomes you with a charming fireplace and custom built-ins, creating an inviting space for quiet evenings or intimate gatherings. Beyond, a grand, light-filled family room opens seamlessly to the kitchen, forming the heart of the home and an ideal setting for everyday living and entertaining.
