Style: Contemporary       Built: 1979

Situated on one of Kensington’s most coveted streets, this custom-built home comes to us directly from its original owners that designed it for themselves in partnership with a respected architect. With dramatic cathedral ceilings and sweeping views this home has all the “right stuff” but is in desperate need of updating and tweaking of the floor plan to take it to the next level. The term “open concept” comes to mind when describing how this floor plan will eventually evolve and take shape…all without feeling cold or overly exposed.

To begin, the existing family room will be transformed into a grand master suite with soaring windows, new spa like bathroom and private deck featuring spectacular treetop views of San Francisco and the Bay. The original master bedroom will now serve as a second master suite allowing its new owners to choose where they are most comfortable or to offer guests or relatives a spacious suite with private bath, double sinks, walk in closet and again…amazing views. In addition, a new 4th bedroom will be added expanding this homes livability to accommodate a larger family or provide extra home office space.

The present awkward kitchen will expand and be reconfigured to complement the strong architectural lines of the structure. Stone counters, a large island, stainless pro style appliances, eat in nook and beautiful cabinetry will round off this kitchen’s transformation.

Finally, the home will take on a new design personality featuring light an bright spaces, hardwood and stone flooring, simple clean lines and more than 2000 square feet of well-thought out living space. Energy efficiency and green building practices will remain in constant focus during this restoration.

To label this home “contemporary” or “modern” limits its true character….it will have its own comfortable yet refined style featuring signature Bee Renovated qualities executed in the highest standards.
