Welcome to 686 Alvin St in beautiful Emerald Hills section of Encanto. This is a 1,174 sf home with mid-century lines in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to the 94 freeway. The home is currently configured as a 3 bedroom and easily converted back to a 4 bedroom if you needed. The original hardwood floors are in tact throughout (even under carpet in the primary). The large driveway provides options for RV parking with easy cleanout & leads to an attached 2 car garage with a roll-up door. The family room boasts great beams & vaulted ceilings, a ceiling fan, and sliding glass doors to the backyard. Windows have been upgraded to dual-pane vinyl windows for natural light and energy efficiency. The galley kitchen has stainless steel appliances, including a oversized 5-burner gas range, granite counters, and ample cabinetry. Open to the dining area with a chandelier, the kitchen shares the home's signature vaulted ceilings. Bedroom one includes a private entrance, garage access, a small closet, and and a bathroom with a walk-in shower, making it perfect for guests or rental use. Off the family room, a hallway leads to a full bathroom with a tub/shower combo and two additional bedrooms. Bedroom four has been opened to expand the primary suite but can easily be restored as a separate room. The backyard has potential galore and is fully fenced with a covered patio, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. This lot and location has great potential to add an ADU.
