Welcome home to 19 Anson Way in Kensington, a mid-century delight with an artist’s touch. Purchased with a vision nearly 40 years ago, the property features vintage details and a multitude of spaces for entertaining, creating and relaxing. Enjoy filtered Bay views from the cozy front porch while the mature crepe myrtles sway. Upon entry to the foyer, proceed to the spacious living room, with gleaming hardwood floors, central fireplace and doors to the interior solarium for the quintessential California indoor-outdoor flow.  Hop the foyer to the dining room with west-facing windows and pass-through to the eat-in kitchen. Imagine a Julia Child cooking class with a double-oven, built-in banquette, and period wallpaper...the beef bourguignon is up to you!  Adjacent to the kitchen you will find: half bathroom, laundry room with copious storage and sink, mud room and interior access to the attached two-car garage with custom cabinetry. Down the hallway, two bedrooms share the deep hall bathroom, not to be forgotten with reeded glass window and California poppy wallpaper! The peaceful primary bedroom retreat has an ensuite bath, custom built-ins, skylight and additional access to the yard and solarium. Sunny backyard has multiple vignettes including dining areas, garden and steps up to your optimum Bay viewing area. The property is moments away from award-winning Kensington Hilltop Elementary, Kensington Park for tennis or basketball & trails into Tilden Park and Blake Garden. Enjoy easy access to El Cerrito shops/cafes, Colusa Circle.

Neighborhood

Perched on the hills north of Berkeley lies Upper Kensington. This area is connected by Arlington Avenue, which for over half a century was traversed by a tram. The main stop in upper Kensington is the intersection of Arlington and Amherst, given the small collection of businesses in the area centered here. The market, coffee shop, wine store, and cheese shop are the central hub. Tilden Park and Blake Garden are two beautiful green spaces located in and around Kensington. Most residents regularly visit the expansive trails in the area, as they provide hillcrest views of nature to the east and one-of-a-kind three bridge views to the west. 

A few other interesting facts:

  • Claims the most number of nobel laureates per capita (2/5000)
  • Was the home of Robert Oppenheimer when he was working on the Manhattan Project
  • Kensington Hilltop Elementary is rated in the top 4% of all elementary schools in California
