What stands out first at 2112 Riviera Drive is the combination of scale and smart upgrades — a generous 4,238 square foot two-story home on a level 0.31-acre lot, steps from Alvamar Golf Course. Built in 1995 and thoughtfully maintained, the house presents modern, energy-conscious updates including rooftop solar panels, newer windows, and a replacement HVAC system that lower operating costs and reduce immediate maintenance needs.
Step inside to rooms sized for real living: formal and informal gathering spaces, a fireplace that anchors a comfortable living room, and an updated kitchen outfitted with contemporary appliances and finishes that support both weekday breakfasts and weekend entertaining. The floor plan flows naturally between public rooms and private zones; upstairs bedrooms offer separation and privacy while the finished basement expands usable square footage with a family/media room, a playroom, a full bathroom, and a non-conforming bedroom ideal for guests or a home office.
Outdoor living is deceptively simple here — the level backyard is easy to maintain and offers space for play, entertaining, or adding personalized landscaping. The attached two-car garage and broad driveway provide ample parking for family and visitors. Practical systems and features — central air, forced air gas heating, composition roof (age to be verified), and municipal utilities — support comfortable year-round living.
Location is a quiet strength: Alvamar West is a stable, well-regarded neighborhood with quick access to recreational anchors. Golfers will appreciate being 0.3 miles from Alvamar Golf Course; Clinton Lake and the University of Kansas are short drives away, and downtown Lawrence’s restaurants and shops are within easy reach. With a balanced market and steady appreciation in this submarket, this home offers both immediate livability and long-term value for owner-occupants or investors seeking strong rental demand from university affiliates.
