Property is new construction or fully renovated.

The interior features a modern open floor plan with vaulted beamed ceilings, engineered wood flooring, and designer light fixtures. The kitchen is fully updated with quartzite countertops, a large island, and premium stainless steel appliances.

Set on an expansive 12,800 sqft lot, the backyard is a standout feature with its high-end Trex deck, fully equipped outdoor kitchen, and elevated hillside views that offer both privacy and a sense of scale.
Ideally situated within walking distance to top-rated Chabot Elementary and minutes from BART, downtown Castro Valley, and major I-580/I-880 routes, offering a perfect balance of suburban quiet and urban accessibility.
The recent price reduction from the original listing suggests the property may have been initially overvalued for the current market, potentially impacting buyer perception of value.
While the interior features modern updates like quartzite countertops and engineered wood, the 1973 construction may mean original core systems require closer inspection compared to newer builds in this price bracket.
