About 4253 Alder Dr

Resort-Style Living in the Heart of Kensington! Welcome to this beautifully restored single-story Spanish Hacienda, set on an expansive 19,000-square-foot canyon lot in one of San Diego’s most beloved historic neighborhoods. Meticulously remodeled and thoughtfully upgraded over the past several years, the home blends timeless architectural charm with modern luxury. Enter through the private front gate and immediately feel transported. The saltwater pool and spa, framed by lush landscaping creates a sense of calm and privacy as you approach the home’s welcoming front entrance. Inside, the home opens to an inviting and elegant layout centered around a chef’s kitchen with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances and a spacious dining area, ideal for everyday living and entertaining alike. To one side, the formal living room features vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, while an inviting family room flows seamlessly from the kitchen, creating comfortable spaces to gather and relax. Wine lovers will appreciate the professionally designed wine cellar, complete with a whole-room cooling system, insulated walls, and custom wine racks — a stunning feature for collectors and the perfect setting for entertaining. Down a classic hallway are the home’s three bedrooms, including two guest rooms and the spacious primary suite. One guest room features a private ensuite bathroom with natural light, vaulted ceilings, and elegant finishes. The primary suite offers a true retreat, complete with a sitting area, a spa-inspired bathroom, and an exceptionally large walk-in closet. See supplement.
