Property Description

Just steps from South Highland Avenue, the Ellsworth Street walking bridge destinations, and Walnut Street, this circa-1900 brick Colonial truly defines walkability, pairing timeless character with modern updates across three finished floors. With over 3,000 square feet of living space, the foyer sets an elegant tone with a stained-glass front door, exposed stone accent wall, and rich wood detailing, with original stained glass accenting rooms throughout the home.

The main level showcases custom built-ins with granite inlays and decorative fireplaces, while the updated kitchen pairs granite countertops, an induction cooktop, and stainless steel appliances with bar seating and an eat-in area. Sliding glass doors open to the patio, backyard, and detached two-car garage.

The second floor is home to the primary bedroom, complete with an ensuite bathroom and in-room laundry, along with two additional bedrooms and a full bath. The primary suite offers a spa-like retreat with a steam shower and rainfall showerhead. The third floor adds two more bedrooms flooded with natural light, another full bath, and a self-contained kitchenette. The finished basement adds a second laundry area, ample storage, and a bonus room ready to be reimagined as an additional family room. Hardwood floors and central air with a supplemental mini-split keep the home comfortable throughout.

Best of all, the property is a true turnkey investment, currently a cash-flowing Airbnb with a property manager already in place for buyers who want income from day one. Live in it or invest in it, 5921 Alder is a rare offering in one of the East End's most sought-after neighborhoods.
