Property Description

One-level living with magnificent canyon views, this El Cerrito mid-century is beautifully appointed and move-in ready. With substantial improvements including beautiful updates to the kitchen, solar panels + Tesla power wall, and drought-resistant landscaping, this home has been curated for today’s buyer. 820 Kensington features soaring wood-and-beam ceilings with a wrap-around brick fireplace, all original mid-century features. With expansive windows offering views of the verdant oak forests and eye-level with gliding raptors, the outdoors are brought in. Three spacious bedrooms - one of which is an updated en-suite - have garden views, the kitchen is newly updated with new stainless steel appliances and stunning green granite countertops, and an attached two-car garage makes living easy. A peaceful garden path leads to a bonus studio, the perfect work-from-home office…no need for a zoom background with Wildcat Canyon at your back! A quick drive down Moeser or along Arlington leads to local coffee shops, grocery stores, and BART.
