Neighborhood: Upper KensingtonOff the market 3 beds 2 baths 2,108 sqft
This c.1926 Mediterranean Bungalow with a great view of San Francisco has been in the same family since they bought it from the then-young entrepreneur Saul Zaentz of Fantasy Records who became an Oscar-winning producer in the '70s. You can imagine the family enjoying the spacious layout and versatile floor plan with a big plus room below. Generous eat-in kitchen, inviting living room with fireplace, and dining room with charming built-ins. Two bedrooms and a super sweet updated bath. The lower level has a large plus room, bath, and what was used as the 'parent's bedroom' a very nice-sized room with built-in seating and an abundance of windows. The garden is deep and wide and wonderful and a canvas for improvement or the stage for serious play. Located on one of Kensington's favorite streets you can make your way to shopping at the Village and the Colusa Circle by neighborhood pathways. Public Transit is blocks away as is Awarded Hilltop school, Community Center, and Blake Gardens.
