## Description

### Agent Description
Enter into a rare opportunity to own a magnificently reimagined two-family residence situated on a 58x100 lot in the heart of Kensington. Expertly converted from its original single-family design while preserving its historic charm. This home is a celebration of craftsmanship, character, and comfort- all elevated with modern enhancements for today's lifestyle. Inside you'll find original tin ceilings throughout, original hardwood floors that flow from room to room with timeless warmth, a fireplace that instantly becomes the heart of the living room. Classic architectural details proudly remain, seamlessly blended with thoughtful upgrades including copper piping, newer roof, updated kitchen with an island & bath. All the big-ticket items have been updated. Home also features a bonus unfinished attic. As you come outside and discover a massive estate-like yard, a true outdoor sanctuary that was designed with relaxation and gatherings in mind. Outdoor space has a charming gazebo, impressive custom outdoor kitchen, and stylish deck that create the perfect setting for relaxing and entertaining. Whether you're looking to generate income, host extended family, or create a private retreat, this flexible layout adapts gracefully to all your needs. Truely a must see.
