Description

First Time on the Market in Over 50 Years! This unique Castro Valley property offers a rare opportunity to own a spacious lot just off Castro Valley Blvd, with room to expand. Charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath main house is move-in ready & filled with character featuring solid redwood construction, a gas fireplace, generous bedroom closets, and a thoughtfully designed kitchen with built-ins and pullouts. Enjoy beautiful sunset views of the east foothills from the front porch. In addition, the property includes two detached studio units perfect for extended family or additional rental income. Both studios reflect the craftsmanship of their 1940s origin, with durable redwood framing. Studio B has been beautifully updated in a modern farmhouse style with open beam ceilings, porcelain tile flooring, a barn door, new cabinetry, and updated appliances. Studio C retains its vintage farmhouse charm, with refinished original features including a double sink and a vintage double oven. New laminate flooring has been installed throughout. Outdoor living is a highlight, with a 50-foot covered patio w/ custom awning, ceiling fans & lighting ideal for entertaining. With its flexible layout, historical charm, and income potential, this is a truly special property that must be seen to be appreciated.
