Kensington

18 Kerr Avenue offers an excellent opportunity to renovate a property in highly desirable Kensington.. This is a true cosmetic fixer-upper, allowing new homeowners or renovators the chance to selectively preserve certain features or undertake a complete remodel—bring your vision to life! Ascend a few steps to the front porch, and you'll enter a spacious living room with a fireplace, an open dining room, and the original kitchen, which features knotty pine cabinets and yellow-tiled counters with bright red accent detail. This property is a fantastic canvas for your renovation ideas. From the public areas, you have excellent access to a very spacious deck, as well as a large newer concrete patio and a fenced garden below. Enjoy views of San Francisco Bay framed by impressive redwoods, with abundant natural light illuminating the entire home.

This property is being offered for sale for the first time and features classic finishes from the 1950s, such as wood paneling, colorful tiled bathrooms, and rich hardwood floors. Imagine the charm of the Cleaver family home from that era, and you can picture the appeal of this residence. There have been some notable improvements; most of the windows are dual-pane, and the electrical system seems to have been upgraded. Pest inspections are available for under $1,500.

The lower level of this home offers a substantial amount of finished space with great access to the garden. It features a half bath, a laundry room, and a large basement. The property is located on a 7,040-square-foot parcel that extends well beyond the rear fence, backing up to the Carmelite Monastery. This spacious home provides over 2,122 square feet of living area and includes the convenience of a large two-car garage with interior access. There is potential to develop a level Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) on the lower level, complete with a separate entrance. This layout is ideal for the project.

The property is located in a prime area zoned for the highly-rated Hilltop Elementary School and is just blocks away from the Village shops, parks, community center, and public transportation options. U.C. Berkeley is a 10-minute drive and San Francisco is 30 minutes away.
