Property Description

The Banker's Estate: Timeless Architecture Meets Modern Living. 972 Kensington Avenue presents a rare opportunity to own a distinguished Colonial Revival residence rich in character, craftsmanship, and history. Set on beautifully landscaped grounds, this stately home offers approximately 2,900 square feet of living space with 5 bedrooms, multiple baths across three finished levels, and a thoughtfully preserved layout designed for entertaining and comfortable living. A gracious foyer welcomes you with Waterford sconces and timeless architectural detail. Gleaming hardwood floors, expansive formal living and dining rooms, and a classic butler's pantry showcase the home's enduring charm and functionality. Sunlight fills the spectacular sunroom through walls of windows, creating a bright retreat overlooking the property. The updated kitchen blends historic warmth with modern convenience, featuring Thermador double ovens, adjoining butler's pantry, wet bar, and a convenient secondary stairwell to the second floor. Additional highlights include exceptional closet and storage space throughout, including cedar-lined closets, central air on the second and third floors, and a finished basement with an additional bath and flexible recreation space. Rare original details including the slate roof, preserved architectural elements, and original 1926 blueprints reflect exceptional craftsmanship rarely found today. A home of this pedigree, scale, and provenance seldom becomes available.
