About this home

WITH AN ACCEPTABLE OFFER, SELLER WILL CONTRIBUTE $5,000 TOWARD BUYER CLOSING COSTS! Experience the charm of small-town living just steps from historic downtown Alvarado, where exciting revitalization and community growth are bringing new energy to the area. Walk to local shops, dining, the scenic gazebo, and enjoy a front-row seat to the beloved community parade route! This beautifully transformed 1960 home combines the character and craftsmanship of an established home with extensive modern updates. Improvements span from the foundation to the roof and include updated plumbing, gas lines and electrical, a tankless water heater, new windows and roof, fresh attic insulation, and stylish finishes throughout. Inside, the thoughtfully updated kitchen features new cabinetry, while three spacious bedrooms and three full baths provide exceptional flexibility—including two bedrooms with primary-suite potential. Outside is where this property truly shines! Enjoy your own private backyard retreat featuring a sparkling pool and new covered patio, perfect for entertaining or relaxing. The fully fenced property also includes a brand-new workshop with electricity and a new gate for added privacy. Updated, spacious, and full of character—all within walking distance of the heart of Alvarado. This is small-town living with the space, amenities, and improvements buyers are looking for! One change I made intentionally: I removed **“It surpasses new construction.”** That’s a strong subjective claim for MLS. The description still conveys the same message by emphasizing the extensive updates plus the craftsmanship and character of an established home.
