Two bedrooms share a tastefully updated bath, while the cheerful eat-in kitchen delights with a beautiful backsplash and charming dining nook with a custom-built table and bench seating. Down a few steps, a cozy home office and a half bath opens through French doors to a serene garden retreat. Off the kitchen a deck awaits"”perfect for morning coffee and early evening meals; wander down to the expansive yard, where sunlight pours in before softening into dappled shade beneath a majestic heritage oak. Take a seat and close your eyes; you will forget that you are only moments from the Kensington library, Young's Market and the weekly farmer's market"”only to realize what a gem you have found in this small town.
