If you read my recent series on San Carlos Neighborhood Check-Ins, then you know Alder Manor is one of my favorite neighborhoods in all of San Carlos. It's often overlooked because a significant portion is in the Redwood City School District boundary, but there are so many other great things about this neighborhood that overcome that objection — such as larger and newer homes that are situated on larger lots than what you see in other parts of San Carlos. And there's far less traffic up here than there is in the neighborhoods closer to downtown.

That's why I'm especially pleased to announce my latest San Carlos listing at 2872 Roland Avenue — right here in Alder Manor!

This bright and beautiful four-bedroom home is conveniently situated at the top of Roland Avenue, where it becomes a cul-de-sac, so you get the peace and quiet that comes with virtually no vehicle traffic.

The same family has owned the home for over 55 years and has lovingly maintained and updated it over time. The elegant kitchen features granite counters, high-end stainless steel appliances, and plenty of counter space to indulge your cooking bug.

You can enjoy convenient meals in the nook that's adjacent to the kitchen, or for more formal occasions, take advantage of the separate formal dining room.

The home's layout is open and well-suited to entertaining guests or for casual living. The spacious living room is the centerpiece of the layout and features a warm fireplace for cozying up during the winter months.

Another fabulous feature of this home is that not only one, but two of its four bedrooms are configured as primary suites, with one on each floor. This is especially convenient for multi-generational families who have their parents living with them, or just long-term guests. The huge primary suite on the top floor affords lots closet space and an beautifully updated bathroom.

2872 Roland Avenue is conveniently located close to schools, your commute routes, and Eaton Park, which is one of the best-kept secrets in all of San Carlos. It has stunningly beautiful hiking trails that lead you to breathtaking views of the entire Bay Area, it's one of the only dog-friendly parks in all of San Carlos, and the trailhead is only a couple of blocks away.
