About This Home

As of September 2025

Gorgeous, move-in ready single-story in one of Castro Valley’s most coveted neighborhoods! This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home has been freshly updated with new flooring and interior paint throughout. A formal living and dining room offer a welcoming first impression, while the spacious kitchen features granite countertops, tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and opens seamlessly to the family room. From here, sliding doors lead to the backyard, creating the perfect indoor-outdoor connection. Two light-filled bedrooms share an updated hall bath, and the private primary suite enjoys direct access to the rear yard. The backyard is an entertainer’s dream with a sparkling pool, covered patio, low-maintenance turf lawn, and plenty of privacy. Side-yard parking provides space for your boat or RV. All this in a prime location close to award-winning schools, Lake Chabot, shopping, dining, and just minutes from BART and major freeways.
