Property is move-in ready.
Although built in 1973, the property has been significantly updated with modern wide-plank flooring, crown molding, and plantation shutters. The interior appears well-maintained and move-in ready, suggesting a renovation within the 5-15 year range, elevating it from its original age category.
Situated in the desirable Countrywood community, the home offers quiet privacy with immediate proximity to the Countrywood Shopping Center and easy access to BART and Highway 680 for commuters.
The property features rare private gated front and rear yards, plus direct back-gate access to a spacious community greenbelt and picnic area, providing an expansive feel beyond its lot size.
The inclusion of a detached two-car garage is a highly desirable and rare feature for a townhouse, offering secure parking and significant additional storage space.
While the elementary school is well-rated, the assigned middle and high schools have lower performance ratings (2 and 4 respectively), which may be a concern for education-focused buyers.
At $660 per month, the association fee is a substantial recurring expense that increases the total cost of ownership and may impact buyer affordability.
