Welcome to 231 Yale Avenue, a charming 1,285* square foot home offering 2 plus bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and breathtaking views in the heart of the Kensington hills. Located on the uphill side of the street, this special property has been lovingly cared for by the same family for more than 68 years and is ready for its next chapter. Step inside through the traditional entry and into the large living room, where expansive windows frame the spectacular views of San Francisco, and the Golden Gate and Bay bridges. Complete with hardwood floors and a classic brick fireplace, the living room is a warm and welcoming space to gather while enjoying the ever-changing sky. Make your way to the light-filled dining room, an inviting space for everyday meals or special gatherings. The eat-in kitchen, a wonderful opportunity to update and personalize to your own style, features direct access to the garden, allowing for the perfect indoor-outdoor living that our California weather offers. The large tiered garden is noteworthy all on its own. The patio is perfect for entertaining, the grass area calls out for toes to be tickled, and the upper level is the perfect place to take in the views. Mature plantings provide privacy, while the lemon tree and butterfly-friendly flowers add color and subtle fragrance to complete this inviting outdoor space. The two comfortably sized bedrooms feature multiple windows, creating a bright and airy feel. The vintage bathroom with its window to the garden presents an opportunity to leave as is or update and personalize. Downstairs, a versatile bonus room with its own private entrance offers endless possibilities as a third bedroom, home office, media room, or guest space.** The ‘mudroom’ has ample cabinet storage and direct access to the attached two-car garage which features a built in workbench. Ideally located just minutes from Kensington's Arlington Village, where you'll find Young's Market, a neighborhood wine shop, the Inn Kensington and its renowned biscuits, sushi restaurant, cheese shop and other local favorites. Enjoy close proximity to the award-winning Kensington Hilltop Elementary School, Tilden Regional Park, Kensington Park, Blake Garden, and convenient public transportation. Don't miss this opportunity to make this beloved Kensington home your own. *Buyer to investigate.
