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.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
