Private 2-Acre Retreat in the Heart of Kensington Tucked away at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac, this beautifully situated 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence offers something increasingly rare—privacy, space, and the simple pleasure of coming home. Set on 2.01 wooded acres, mature trees surround the property, creating seclusion while capturing the timeless character of Kensington, a small rural community where country roads wind past farms, pastures, woodlands, wetlands, and old stone walls. Inside, approximately 3,124 square feet unfold across three levels, offering generous proportions and flexibility. All four bedrooms comfortably accommodate king-size beds, while an oversized third-floor bonus room provides endless possibilities for guests, a home office, hobbies, recreation, or multigenerational living. A large unfinished basement adds abundant storage and potential for more finished space. A vaulted ceiling brings an airy, open feeling to the home, while recent improvements—including newly installed first-floor central air-conditioning and a furnace—provide added comfort and peace of mind. Outside, the front porch is destined to become a favorite gathering place. Imagine morning coffee beneath the mature trees, a quiet afternoon with a good book, or evenings with friends. During warmer months, the 27-foot round above-ground pool and adjoining 20' x 26' deck create an inviting setting for summer fun and entertaining. A two-car garage adds convenience and storage, while the private setting offers a peaceful backdrop year-round.
