Property Description
Welcome to 19 Sunset, a sophisticated retreat surrounded by beautifully curated gardens. This 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home feels like a step into a fairytale. A wood-wrapped entry, illuminated by a custom stained-glass window, opens to an elegant living room with soaring wood ceilings, a cozy fireplace nook, and original wood wainscotting. Just beyond is the well-appointed kitchen with original wood cabinetry, Corian countertops, stainless steel appliances, bar seating, and peaceful views of the front garden. At the heart of the home, a warm den/family room connects to the striking octagonal dining room. Surrounded by glass and featuring a beautiful Zen-inspired stained-glass window, the dining room overlooks the gardens and enjoys dappled light throughout the day. The retreat-like primary bedroom features walls of windows framing lush garden views. A handcrafted circular door connects the suite to the beautifully updated primary bathroom, where midcentury character meets modern amenities. The second bedroom offers a magical split-level design with custom built-ins and rich wood details on the sleeping level, plus a lofted office or sitting area above. Across the hall, the second bathroom retains wonderful original details. Meandering gardens wrap around the home with mature landscaping, a majestic redwood, koi pond, and intimate sitting areas tucked throughout. Peaceful, distinctive, and filled with character, 19 Sunset is a magical retreat just moments from the heart of Kensington.
