Kensington

There are no guarantees the house is full of magic, but for decades this Kensington row house was home to 20th century children’s author Ruth Chew, who spun tales of enchantment for young readers.

Complete with the decorative details of its time, this spacious one-bedroom from the World War II era has enough nooks and crannies to allow for some work-from-home space.

With arched doorways, wood floors and a built-in niche this Kensington one-bedroom already has some of its original character intact and it would take just a bit of work to bring it back to its intended layout.

On the first floor of a prewar walk-up building, this renovated apartment has some modern touches along with plentiful closets and two bedrooms.

This early 20th century Kensington single family offers some original details like wood floors, stained glass and coffered ceilings, along with a more recently renovated kitchen and bath.
