Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1971 and owned by the same family for over 50 years, the home is significantly dated with original features including a 1970s-style kitchen with tile countertops, fluorescent lighting, and popcorn ceilings. While well-maintained, the property's age and lack of recent renovations to the kitchen, baths, and systems necessitate a full interior rehab.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 10778, living area = 2164.
The generous 10,778 sqft lot offers significant privacy and rare opportunities for expansion or the construction of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU).
Situated in the highly desirable Upper Castro Valley, the home is within walking distance of award-winning schools, including the top-rated Vannoy Elementary.
Held by the same family for over 52 years, the 1971 interior likely requires significant cosmetic updates and system modernizations to meet current market standards.
While RV and boat parking are possible, achieving this requires the removal of trees and additional landscape modifications, adding upfront costs for the buyer.
