Property Description

96 Ardmore Road is a classic Spanish home that blends timeless architecture with comfortable everyday living. Rich with character, warmth, and curb appeal, the home showcases the enduring craftsmanship and inviting spaces that make Kensington's homes so highly sought after. The main level features four bedrooms and two bathrooms, anchored by a spacious chef's kitchen with dual sinks that opens into the expansive family room with beamed ceilings. The light-filled living and dining rooms enjoy lovely glimpses of the Bay, while vaulted ceilings, a striking stone fireplace, and timeless Spanish architectural details create wonderful spaces for everyday living and entertaining. Outside, the private backyard offers a peaceful retreat with a tranquil fountain and sauna, surrounded by a thoughtfully established edible landscape featuring apple, lemon, and loquat trees, a passion fruit vine, a grapevine, and multiple raised vegetable beds ready for your next harvest. The lower level provides versatile bonus space ready to accommodate your vision. Recently installed solar panels and a backup battery add modern efficiency and peace of mind. Perfectly situated in lower Kensington, you'll enjoy easy access to Young's Market, Semifreddi's Bakery, neighborhood cafés, parks, the beloved Inn Kensington Restaurant, Kensington Hilltop Elementary School, the Arlington's neighborhood shops, and the vibrant restaurants, shopping, and weekly Farmers' Market at Colusa Circle.
