Updated, Permitted and Stylishly Move-In Ready in Kensington. THE FEELING: 267 Cambridge sits above the street in Upper Kensington, where the elevation earns real privacy and a steady wash of daylight. Years of permitted work mean there's little left to do but move in. THE HOUSE: 3 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms, 1,325 SQFT. Primary suite set apart from the other bedrooms. Office nook off the primary with added closet storage. Stacked washer/dryer and utility closet nearby. New track lighting through the living room, dining room, and hallways. WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL: The dining room stretches toward large bay-facing windows. The updated kitchen sits within easy reach of both the dining room and a patio – cooking and gathering flow naturally between them. Above the home, a reworked rear yard with raised garden beds, irrigation, a fenced upper garden, and updated stair railings, all overlooking the city. GROUNDWORK ALREADY DONE: New roof, modernized electrical panel, replaced sewer lines under the home, releveled garage with new automatic door and wired for car charging, and a rebuilt retaining wall with French drains at the rear. Newer washer and dryer included — the infrastructure most buyers hope for but rarely find already done. THE NEIGHBORHOOD: Kensington keeps its small-town feel — streets named for old universities, walkability rare for the East Bay — while staying close to bigger-city convenience. Upper Kensington's own shopping strip nearby, with easy reach to a Transbay bus line, Colusa Circle shops and farmers market, Solano Avenue, and surrounding parks and trails.
