Property is move-in ready.
Built in 1986, the property has been well-maintained and partially updated. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances, stone countertops, and shaker-style cabinetry. The main level has updated wood flooring, and the home includes individual HVAC units in every room, making it move-in ready despite its age.
Ideally situated near BART and major freeways including 580 and 880, this property offers a 'commuter’s dream' with easy access to the greater Bay Area and proximity to downtown Castro Valley.
The functional floor plan features two generously sized upstairs bedroom suites, each equipped with its own walk-in closet, providing excellent privacy and convenience for residents or roommates.
The property is located within the highly desirable Castro Valley school district, with access to top-rated elementary, middle, and high schools all within a one-mile radius.
The association fee of $602 per month is relatively high for a two-bedroom condo, which may impact the overall monthly affordability and debt-to-income ratio for some buyers.
At 1,044 square feet, the interior living area is somewhat modest for a multi-level townhome-style unit, which may feel restrictive for those requiring more expansive common areas.
