Property is new construction or fully renovated.
While originally built in 1973, the property has undergone a comprehensive, high-end renovation within the last 5 years. The kitchen features modern quartzite countertops and premium stainless appliances, bathrooms are fully updated with contemporary wall-mounted fixtures and custom tile, and the home features new engineered wood flooring and recessed lighting throughout. The addition of a Trex deck and outdoor kitchen further indicates a mint-condition, no-maintenance status.
The home features a private lower-level living area with a kitchenette and an additional 400 sqft of bonus space, offering exceptional flexibility for extended family, guests, or a professional home office.
Set on a generous 12,800 sqft lot, the property includes a high-end Trex deck and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen paired with elevated hillside views, creating a superior space for hosting.
Ideally situated within walking distance of top-rated Chabot Elementary and providing convenient access to BART and major commuter routes, making it highly desirable for families and professionals.
Listed at nearly $2 million, the property is positioned at the upper echelon of the Castro Valley market, which may limit the pool of qualified buyers compared to more moderately priced local inventory.
While the interior features modern updates, the 1973 construction date suggests that original core systems or structural elements may require more maintenance than a newer build.
