287 Kenyon Avenue... a personal note from the
sellers:
What we will miss about living here:
Being surrounded by trees, nature, and a diversity of homes.
Being able to walk to Tilden Park with our dog.
Being able to lounge in our new backyard.
Being just up the hill from a friendly Kensington Village with its
shops.
Being only a few minutes away from downtown Berkeley, Oakland, BART
(only a 30 minute BART ride to SF!,) Point Isabelle dog park, and
many wonderful places to eat and shop (I love to do both).
Having great neighbors who maintain their homes and yards and feeling
comfortable to call on any of them for help if we need it (we have!)
Being close to CAL.
Many free things to do outdoors year round.
