Nestled in the beloved Gerstle Park community, 2 Alvina Avenue is a rare opportunity to own a home filled with character, warmth, history, and modern comfort. This 3BR/2.5BA residence has been lovingly cared for by the same family for more than 35 years, with pride of ownership shining throughout. The home unfolds across two levels. On the lower level, you'll find two well-appointed bedrooms(one w/ a separate entrance), a full bathroom, and a flexible office nook. Upstairs you'll find an open kitchen, and light filled dining and living areas. In 2008, the owners thoughtfully expanded the residence, creating an upper-level retreat that blends scale and warmth. Vaulted ceilings and a fireplace anchor the spacious living area, while the primary suite offers a walk-in closet and spa-like bath with double vanities, soaking tub, and walk-in shower. French doors open to a sunny backyard with expansive deck, outdoor dining, and terraced garden with lemon trees, roses, and planting beds ready for your vision. Two sheds add versatility: one with a wraparound deck perfect as an office or meditation space, the other offering storage/workshop space. Both offer possible ADU conversion. This home is move-in ready, full of character, and brimming with opportunity.
