A detached studio with its own private entrance, yard, and gated access has historically rented for approximately $1,700 per month, creating valuable income potential, guest accommodations, or a private workspace. SEE SUPPLEMENT For several years, the property functioned as professional office space and offers a unique opportunity for reconfiguration and personalization. While entirely livable today, the property may be reimagined by a new owner to unlock significant additional value. The existing paved area, previously used for parking, offers exciting possibilities for expanded outdoor living, gardens, entertaining spaces, or landscape enhancements. A separate backyard provides additional outdoor enjoyment. This is currently one of the most affordable opportunities in Kensington and the least expensive Mills Act-designated home in the neighborhood. Whether you’re seeking a charming historic residence, an income-producing property, a value-add project, or a long-term investment, this property offers exceptional flexibility and upside. With the benefit of the Mills Act, property taxes may be substantially lower than those of comparable homes, creating significant long-term savings while preserving one of Kensington’s architectural gems.
