Discover your private retreat in San Diego’s beloved Kensington neighborhood. This charming Spanish ranch offers 2 beds, 2 baths and a generous, private lot designed for both comfort and lifestyle. The Inside is a warm and inviting formal living room featuring a cozy fireplace adorned with original Batchelder tile, seamlessly flowing into the formal dining area complete with custom lighting, French doors, and custom built in cabinetry with library ladder. The thoughtfully renovated kitchen showcases designer cabinetry, a wine fridge, and bar seating, all overlooking a comfortable family room—ideal for both entertaining and daily living. The renovated primary bathroom offers a spa-inspired experience with a relaxing steam shower, designed for everyday modern luxury. Outdoors, the home truly shines. The covered patio opens to a resort-style backyard with a heated pool / spa, dry sauna, outdoor shower, and lush, mature landscaping. A private detached casita below offers the perfect space for exercise or a creative studio. Enjoy your own fruit garden with mature lime, avocado, lemon, nectarine, and tangerine trees. Timeless character remains with original windows and stucco (some thoughtfully restored), while tech upgrades include a SimpliSafe security system and app-controlled pool and lighting. The property includes an ADU conversion option, offering an exceptional opportunity for additional space or potential rental income. This is Kensington living at its finest—where charm, privacy, and lifestyle come together effortlessly near Adams Avenue eateries + shops.
