19 Kensington Ct.

Set in a lushly wooded neighborhood that backs up to the Tilden Nature Area’s hiking trails, this hilltop hideaway is located on a quiet court in upper Kensington. Echoing with Mid Century details, the five-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom abode spans 2,183-square feet of light-soaked living.

Boasting panoramic views of Wildcat Canyon from living room, dining room and all five bedrooms, a stunning interior features floor to ceiling windows and sliding glass doors that open to wrap-around decks on both levels. Immaculate woodwork lends warmth to the sunlit interior, while exposed wood beams create continuity.

Lined in refinished hardwoods throughout, a voluminous living room affords a slate fireplace and custom built-ins. An adjacent dining room is poised for family dinners, backdropped by the same picturesque canyon vistas. Decked in cerulean tile, a well-appointed kitchen affords stainless-steel appliances, built-ins, and a sunny breakfast nook. Continuing onward, a sumptuous primary suite provides an escape from the everyday, replete with an en-suite bath and sliding glass doors that reveal an outdoor deck.

Downstairs, a sprawling family room and four additional bedrooms are poised for weekend guests, equipped with ample closet space, a pair of bathrooms, and laundry room. Seamlessly merging indoor and outdoor living, the two largest bedrooms have been thoughtfully designed with sliding glass doors that lead to outdoor decks.

Fully fenced, this idyllic residence affords a private front patio with ample space for hosting outdoor dinners. Minutes to Kensington Hilltop School, this tranquil retreat is in close proximity to Kensington Park and UC Berkeley’s Blake Garden.
