Property is move-in ready.
The property is move-in ready and well-maintained. The main living areas have been updated with modern wide-plank flooring, fresh paint, and contemporary light fixtures, highlighting the impressive vaulted wood-beam ceilings. While the kitchen is functional and features newer stainless steel appliances, the oak cabinetry and wood-paneled walls are dated, suggesting a partial renovation rather than a full recent overhaul. The exterior and sun porch show typical age for a 1946 build but appear to be in solid, clean condition.
With over 1,900 square feet of living space, including a vaulted great room and two flexible bonus areas in the attic and converted garage, this home offers exceptional adaptability for a home office, gym, or additional bedrooms.
Ideally situated near downtown Castro Village and within walking distance to highly-rated schools like Castro Valley High, the property provides both lifestyle convenience and strong long-term value.
The combination of a stunning vaulted great room, an enclosed sun porch, and a private backyard with a deck makes this property perfectly suited for hosting and outdoor enjoyment.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1916, other record living area = 1302.
Despite the generous square footage, the home features only one bathroom, which may be a significant drawback for families or buyers looking for a more modern bed-to-bath ratio.
The conversion of the garage into a bonus space eliminates covered vehicle parking and traditional workshop storage, which could be a deterrent for buyers prioritizing utility space.
Hidden gem near downtown Castro Valley! This 1,900+ square-foot home features a stunning vaulted great room ideal for entertaining, a bright interior with an enclosed sun porch, and a beautiful, peaceful backyard complete with a deck—perfect for BBQs and gardening.
