Thoughtfully renovated in 2023, this home pairs fresh, modern design with the warmth and character that make a house feel like home. This four-bedroom residence offers beautifully updated living spaces across multiple levels, a flexible floor plan, a fully fenced and usable backyard, and a three-car driveway.
At the heart of the home, the redesigned kitchen feels clean, contemporary, and ready for everyday life, with new cabinetry, countertops, appliances and windows, plus an induction cooktop with a sleek low-profile hood. A dedicated breakfast area creates an inviting spot for casual mornings, while the adjoining living spaces make it easy to move from everyday routines to entertaining. New hardwood flooring on the upper levels, engineered flooring on the lower level, recessed lighting, replacement windows and two new staircases bring a cohesive, updated feel throughout the home.
One of the home's most memorable spaces is the sunroom off the lower level, currently enjoyed as a formal dining room. Skylights, replaced windows and double French doors fill the room with natural light and create an effortless connection to the bright bonus room beyond and the outdoor spaces. It is the kind of flexible layout that can evolve with you, whether your vision includes memorable dinner parties, a sun-filled lounge, creative studio or additional gathering space.
Four bedrooms provide plenty of versatility, including an attic-level bedroom accompanied by additional flexible space that could make an ideal home office, reading retreat or loft. The finished lower level adds another dimension to the home with room for recreation, extended stays or a potential in-law/au pair arrangement. A former kitchenette provides even more potential, with the existing gas line still in place should a future owner wish to explore restoring that functionality. A brand-new lower-level bathroom with an oversized shower complements the refreshed main-level bath.
Thoughtful details make daily life easier, too. A classic laundry chute sends laundry directly to the lower level, while the home's HVAC includes a furnace component replaced in 2026 and an additional mini-split system with three wall units for added comfort. Outside, the fully fenced yard offers genuinely usable space for relaxing, gardening, entertaining and play.
The setting completes the picture. Nearby Ken-Gar Palisades Park spans more than 20 acres with playgrounds, athletic fields, tennis and basketball courts and an exercise station, while the Rock Creek corridor and Beach Drive provide additional opportunities to get outside. Kensington itself brings an appealing small-town energy, with independent shops, restaurants, the historic shopping district and Antique Row, plus a year-round Saturday farmers market at the historic train station.
Modern where it matters, flexible where life demands it, and filled with spaces that invite you to stay awhile, this home offers a fresh take on Kensington living.
