Description

Nestled on one of Castro Valley’s most beautiful streets, this exceptional 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers the perfect blend of premium updates, unbeatable convenience, and no HOA. The location is truly unmatched: you are directly across from the Castro Valley Community Center Park—complete with tennis and pickleball courts, playgrounds, and open green space—moments from top-rated Chabot Elementary, and a short distance to Lake Chabot Regional Park's marina, fishing, boat rentals, and 20+ miles of trails. Inside, the two-story foyer with clerestory windows floods the entry with natural light and showcases a beautiful staircase. Rich hardwood floors flow throughout much of the main level, complemented by elegant plantation shutters framing every window and sliding door. The first floor includes a formal living room, a dining room, and a gorgeous, updated kitchen featuring a Sub-Zero refrigerator, wine fridge, secondary sink, and premium finishes. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a cozy family room with direct backyard access. A dedicated laundry room and a half bath complete the main level. Upstairs, all four bedrooms are quietly tucked away from the main living areas. The primary suite is a generous retreat with an expansive closet and an updated en suite bath featuring a jetted soaking tub, separate stall shower, and a double vanity. This very well-maintained home provides total peace of mind, including a new roof replaced in 2024 and a new water heater installed in 2025. The outdoor space is an absolute highlight: the 7,634 sq ft lot features a thriving collection of mature fruit and nut trees—including persimmon, Asian pear, tangerine, orange, lemon, quince, fig, mulberry, avocado, and walnut—creating a beautiful, natural privacy screen for the backyard while offering plenty of room to breathe and entertain. Abundant parking includes a two-car garage, a two-car driveway, and one additional dedicated extra spot to the right of the driveway, offering 5 permanent parking spaces. Based in the highly desirable Castro Valley Unified School District, commuters will also love the incredibly quick access to BART, I-580, and HWY-238.
