Property Description

Welcome to 231 Yale Avenue, a charming 1,285* square foot home offering 2 plus bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and breathtaking views in the heart of the Kensington hills. Located on the uphill side of the street, this special property has been lovingly cared for by the same family for more than 68 years and is ready for its next chapter. Step inside through the traditional entry and into the large living room, where expansive windows frame the spectacular views of San Francisco, and the Golden Gate and Bay bridges. Complete with hardwood floors and a classic brick fireplace, the living room is a warm and welcoming space to gather while enjoying the ever-changing sky.

The large tiered garden is noteworthy all on its own. The patio is perfect for entertaining, the grass area calls out for toes to be tickled, and the upper level is the perfect place to take in the views.

Downstairs, a versatile bonus room with its own private entrance offers endless possibilities as a third bedroom, home office, media room, or guest space.** The ‘mudroom’ has ample cabinet storage and direct access to the attached two-car garage which features a built in workbench. Ideally located just minutes from Kensington's Arlington Village, where you'll find Young's Market, a neighborhood wine shop, the Inn Kensington and its renowned biscuits, sushi restaurant, cheese shop and other local favorites.
