Located in Kensington’s Historic District, this expanded bungalow built in 1928 is charming both inside and out.  Red brick sidewalks line both sides of the street as you make your way up the beautiful stone path to the covered front porch with swing!  The homeowners have put much thought and attention to creative architectural details while adding to and renovating this home.   Enjoy the expanded rear portion of the home which was completed in 2006-2007.  The family room features vaulted/cathedral ceilings with skylights, along with wonderful windows and French doors leading out to the private and custom designed screened porch.  A beautifully designed half bath is adjacent to the family room.  Also take note of the rear side mud room which features beautiful stone tiling and access to the driveway, as well as a first floor laundry room – equipped with generous storage and a high efficiency front loading washer and dryer.  The kitchen was renovated with maple wood cabinets, granite countertops and top of the line stainless steel appliances. 

The home also features many unique qualities throughout including abundant natural light, hardwood floors, ample storage, pocket doors, a built-in china cabinet, stained glass windows and a gorgeous brass door knob on the front door to name a few.  The home features two bedrooms (originally three but converted to two and easily converted back to three) and one and a half baths. Centrally located, you will find the location ideal!  Downtown Kensington is just minutes away and offers many conveniences including the Farmer’s Market open every Saturday, Safeway, as well as The Marc Train and many local restaurants and shops.

The booklet produced by the Kensington Historical Society, Inc. entitled “A Walking Tour of Kensington 2009” features this home by stating “The bungalow at 3926 Prospect Street, built around 1927, exhibits several features typical of the Craftsman style.  Elements of this style displayed here are the broad sloped gable, deep overhanging roof, simple square porch columns, naturalistic colors, and six-over-one windows.  The Craftsman style, popular from about 1900 to 1930, suggested a less formal lifestyle than that of the Victorian era.”
