About This Home
As of December 2020Welcome to 2500 Alva, a strikingly gracious level-in 3+bd/2.5ba home with water views, and surrounded by luscious mature landscaping. Meticulously maintained & sun-washed w/abundant natural light, a comfortable floor plan connects handsome formal living and dining rooms to delightfully generous open-plan gathering spaces. A large remodeled eat-in kitchen w/prep island & brkfst bar opens onto a great room enhanced by built-ins & fireplace. Here, significant floor to ceiling windows + glass doors allow stunning indoor/out door flow to an expansive private patio perfect for entertaining & alfresco dining. Ample sleeping quarters, including a primary suite w/private ba, are quietly located along a newly carpeted hallway at the end of which you'll find a guest bath shared by two bedrooms. Finally, a substantial basement provides a myriad of uses: a dark room, workshop, possible (investigate w/City of EC) in-law unit? Verify w/WCCSD that property falls within Madera School district.
