    What's special

    Welcome 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.

    This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
