Why buy a condo with HOA when you can have this instead? Welcome to this inviting 2-bedroom, 1-bath Castro Valley home offering 906 sq. ft. of thoughtfully updated living space. A white-painted brick fireplace creates a warm and welcoming focal point in the home. Although its elevated design gives the appearance of a two-story home, all living areas are conveniently located on one level, with a one-car garage tucked beneath. The remodeled kitchen features soft-close cabinetry, quartz countertops, tile backsplash, farmhouse sink and white appliances. A wall pantry provides additional storage, while the adjacent laundry closet includes a stacking washer and dryer. The updated bathroom, laminate flooring and interior and exterior paint were completed approximately three years ago. Additional improvements include a newer roof and dual-pane windows. The spacious backyard features a flat patio for relaxing and entertaining, plus a terraced upper yard accessed by wooden stairs—ready for gardening, recreation or your own creative vision. Refrigerator and washer/dryer included. Conveniently located near BART and 580 for commute to SF, Oakland or South Bay.
