Features
Perched on a quiet cul-de-sac just above Kensington Circle and just below Arlington shops, 10 Marchant is a walkable, homey retreat.
Enter the airy living room with its charming brick fireplace and beamed ceilings. Views of Oakland, the Bay and lush greenery surround you whether you are indoors or on the deck that spans the view side. The dining area flows nicely into the newly refreshed kitchen.
Three bedrooms (two with their own bathroom) and another half-bath and laundry complete this level. Downstairs is a studio in-law with a full kitchen, bathroom and laundry and it's own entrance and deck.
A huge, mostly level yard is ready for playing, planting or partying! Stroll on down the footpath to the Circus Pub, Benchmark Pizza or the Farmer's market. Zoned for coveted Hilltop School!
Neighborhood
Thanks to its proximity to the University of California, Berkeley campus, Kensington may boast the largest number of Nobel Prize winners of any community in the world. But one look at this neighborhood of large homes in the hilly streets above Berkeley, its commanding views of the Bay Area, and sunny terraced yards will explain why this community is one of the most sought after in the East Bay. Famed architect Bernard Maybeck had a home on Purdue Street. The homes he designed here at the turn of last century have become an informal blueprint for the signature home in Berkeley. These well-proportioned homes are designed for family life and dinner parties. Shingle siding, rustic construction, and bright expansive vistas are the hallmark of the homes in Kensington. Tilden Park provides the boundary to the east. Miles of biking and hiking trails, a miniature steam train, exhibition farm, merry go-round, and the naturally landscaped swimming hole at Lake Anza make Tilden a popular destination for families. Transportation via Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) is convenient. Heading on Colusa Avenue leads to the El Cerrito Plaza BART station and a short drive down Arlington Avenue takes you to North Berkeley BART and North Berkeley's Gourmet Ghetto neighborhood. There are two distinct shopping districts in Kensington.
