About 267 Colusa Avenue
Charming Kensington Home With Dreamy Outdoor Living
Looking for that just-right blend of charm, functionality, and modern updates? Welcome to 267 Colusa Ave—a picture-perfect Kensington home. From the street, it feels quaint and cozy, but step inside, and you'll discover a bright, flexible 2+ bed, 1 bath layout ready to fit your lifestyle. The sunlit living/dining room features a period fireplace and beautiful built-ins, while the updated kitchen is warm and spacious, with stainless steel appliances, wine cabinet, and a generous pantry. Just off the kitchen, a versatile bonus room makes the perfect home office, reading nook, or play area, and a laundry room with additional storage and a place to fold clean clothes.
Out back, enjoy dinner under the wisteria-draped pergola—pure storybook charm. Café lights lead to the detached studio space offering additional flexibility: use as a second office, creative space, or hangout space.
Winding pathways reveal a lush garden with seasonal colors throughout the year, including freesias, poppies, lemons + mint. A brick patio, raised veggie beds and small putting green sits at the uppermost edge of the yard—open the patio umbrella and relax with a book or focus on your golf game or cornhole.
With multiple areas to store belongings, a driveway long enough to park a boat or camper, easy access to BART + shopping, plus top-rated Kensington schools, this fairytale setting offers flexibility, beauty, and ease at every turn.
