Property Description

Elevated above the street, 178 Ardmore offers scenic views of majestic trees and the distant Bay. Built in 1927, this home evokes the feeling of a bygone era with its charming 1920s features such as the classic O'Keefe & Merritt stove, original tile kitchen countertops, the original grey and blue shower tiles, and hexagon floor tiles in the bathroom. The breakfast room, situated just off the kitchen and with hardwood floors and dappled sun, provides a delightful setting to begin your morning. For al fresco dining, there is a sunny patio accessible directly from the formal dining room. With the built-in cabinetry in the dining room, and plantation shutters on the wall of windows in the living room, along with newly refinished original hardwood floors, the space is warmly inviting. There are 2 bedrooms with the bathroom located between them off the hallway. The forward-facing bedroom captures lovely vistas, whereas the rear bedroom overlooks the private backyard. In the hallway off the dining room, there is a staircase to the versatile lower level. This flex space could be ideal as a family room, home office or third bedroom. The lower level also provides convenient access to the laundry room, half bath, and door to the side yard. Located in Lower Kensington, you can enjoy the Sunday farmers' market at the Colusa Circle, Kensington village shops and restaurants, and Kensington Library and park, all under a mile from your doorstep. Zoned for top-rated Kensington Hilltop Elementary school.
