Agent Remarks

A Rare Canyon Retreat, Offered for the First Time in Over 50 Years! Tucked into a peaceful canyon setting, this private and distinctive home tells the story of another era built with love, and rich with authentic Kensington character. Its mid-century flair meets the open, airy design influences of the 1970s, creating a layout that feels both grounded and free. Behind the home's bones stands Verner & Miram, a San Francisco structural engineering firm whose name carried real weight in mid-century California architecture. Partners Edwin A. Verner and Oleg V. Miram built their reputation from the 1940s through the 1960s, becoming the engineers architects turned to when a project demanded more than the ordinary. Their fingerprint here is part of what makes this home more than a relic of its era it's a piece of art! its open-concept flow to the quiet sense of privacy and retreat that defines the property. Filled with personality and possibility, this is a true canvas a rare opportunity for a buyer with vision to honor the home's original character while reimagining it for the way we live today. Homes like this seldom come to market. For the right owner, it's a chance to create something entirely their own, in a setting that feels worlds away, yet close to everything. Open Thursday 9/3 10-12 PM and Sunday 9/6 2-4 PM.
