422 Colusa Avenue, Kensington

This dreamy duplex is a special property: Two light-filled units and a magical backyard retreat present endless possibilities for the right owners.

The upstairs unit offers a spacious eat-in kitchen and two bright bedrooms, as well as a welcoming front deck. The two-bedroom, one-bath downstairs has a wonderful open space with doors to the garden. Both living spaces boast lovely views of the enchanted rear garden, with its flowing creek and verdant plantings providing a true oasis for outdoor tranquility.

Nestled on the side of the garden is a spacious, detached brick structure, used for many years as a professional artist’s studio. There is also a windowed room overlooking the creek where music students were taught. Underneath the brick structure there is a hidden surprise, an old bunker later used as a climate-controlled storage.

Located steps to Colusa Circle, with its restaurants, shops and popular Sunday farmers’ market, this property couldn’t be more convenient. Just bring your imagination, and you will love this unique opportunity in coveted Kensington.
