Property Description
This 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom single-family home at 4811 E Alder Dr offers 3,222 sq ft of beautifully renovated living space on a private 0.57-acre canyon view lot in Kensington, San Diego, CA 92116 with no HOA, an attached 2-car garage, driveway parking for four total vehicles, and one of the most adaptable and income-flexible floor plans available in this zip code at this price tier. Originally built in 1943 and extensively renovated throughout, the home delivers the timeless architectural character that defines Kensington while meeting every demand of modern California living from open-concept main-level entertaining to a fully self-sufficient lower-level income-producing ADU-style suite with a private exterior entrance. Step inside the grand foyer and you are immediately welcomed by beamed ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and a wood-burning fireplace anchoring a sun-drenched living room measuring 25 by 16 feet the kind of gracious entry that sets this Kensington, San Diego home apart from anything in the 92116 market at a comparable price. The renovated chef's kitchen features a professional 6-burner gas range, premium stainless appliances, a breakfast bar, and an open layout connecting directly to a formal dining room designed equally for quiet weeknight dinners and large-scale entertaining. Three bedrooms occupy the main level, including an oversized primary suite measuring 375 square feet with a private en-suite bathroom a rare footprint in this neighborhood. Step outside from the main living areas and you will find a resort-caliber backyard anchored by a gas-heated
