Effortlessly charming! Behind the picket fence and past the delightful garden, you'll find a lovingly maintained and beautifully updated LEVEL-IN single-story 2+ bedroom / 2 bathroom Kensington home. The owner engaged a local architect and well-known Oliver Builders to remodel the kitchen, create a 2nd full bathroom and laundry area, and transform the interior of the converted garage into a light-filled home office or family room. Details like the divided light windows in the living room, hardwood floors, and the original front door were preserved. The remodeled kitchen has high end appliances, quality cabinets, pull-out pantry, and a desk area overlooking the garden. Both baths feature classic tile and heated floors! There are too many energy-efficient improvements to list, capped with a new roof in 2025. The hard work is done, so just sit back and smell the roses! A 2-car parking pad and a 200 amp panel makes EV charging possible. From this peaceful spot, Tilden Park is your backyard, the Village has a convenient grocery and hardware, Colusa Circle has a fabulous Sunday Farmer’s Market, and the best of Berkeley (including renowned UC Berkeley), Albany, and El Cerrito are all less than 15 minutes away.

Mid-Century Energy. Bay-View Vibe. Some homes are built for living. This one was built to seduce. Light pours through walls of glass, gliding across exposed beams and a stone fireplace that feels bold and intimate. A glimpse of the Bay dances through the windows. It is the kind of living room where friends linger late, music low, fire glowing, and the night refuses to end. Pocket doors reveal a kitchen that takes center stage, a waterfall island built for cocktails and conversation, wood tones that whisper warmth, stainless steel that gleams with intention, a custom hood designed for performance and style, and a modern edge that plays as beautifully as it works. Details strike just right. Brass fixtures that shine, recessed lighting that sets the mood, a spa-like bath that doubles as a retreat, and a primary suite that tempts you to stay tangled in your sheets a little longer.Step outside and the rhythm continues. Multiple outdoor spaces for sunrise coffee, sunset wine, or intimate gatherings. You are Minutes from Solano’s date-night restaurants, morning coffee on Arlington, Tilden’s trails, and an easy hop into SF for weekends that stretch a little later. At 201 Amherst, every detail draws you in, every space invites you to stay, and every moment feels like home.
