Cape Cod

Located along the quiet, tree-lined frontage road of Kensington Parkway, this charming Cape Cod home enjoys serene views of mature trees from the front while remaining just a short stroll from all that Kensington has to offer. Featuring four bedrooms and three bathrooms, the home offers the flexibility of one-level living with a main-floor bedroom and a beautifully renovated full bath with a glass-enclosed shower and stylish vanity. Upstairs, you’ll find three additional bedrooms and another updated full bath. The kitchen, complete with brand-new appliances, opens to a cozy family room with backyard access—perfect for both daily living and entertaining. The inviting living room showcases a gas fireplace with built-in shelving, while the separate dining room provides space for gatherings. A versatile main-level bedroom doubles as a den and connects to a bright office or playroom. The finished lower level with luxury vinyl plank flooring expands the living space, offering a recreation room with a wood-burning fireplace and built-ins, a half bath, an exercise room or office, laundry, ample storage (with shelving that conveys), and convenient walk-out access. The fenced backyard is a true highlight—featuring a lovely patio and a storage shed. Refinished hardwood floors flow across the main and upper levels, complemented by a freshly repainted interior for a crisp, updated feel. Important updates include: HVAC, hot water heater, and roof (2015–2016), all new exterior doors and windows (2013), new sump pump (2023), and replacement of the laundry room pipe to the street (2022). A newer washer and dryer convey, and the driveway with EV charger provides convenient off-street parking. The Community: Kensington is beloved for its small-town charm, vibrant community life, and excellent public schools. Residents enjoy neighborhood parks—including one right across the street—as well as nearby Rock Creek Park for hiking, biking, and outdoor recreation. The historic district offers Victorian-era architecture, unique shops, and a popular weekly farmers market. Annual events such as the Day of the Book Festival, summer concerts, and a Fourth of July bike parade create a lively and welcoming atmosphere.
