Nestled in the Castro Valley hills, this single-level mid-century home blends classic charm with the kind of livability today’s buyers are after. Natural light pours through large windows, brightening the open living and dining spaces and setting an easy, welcoming tone. A graceful archway marks the transition to a private wing, where three comfortable bedrooms and a full bath offer quiet retreat. The spacious patio and covered gazebo set the scene for sunset dinners and spontaneous get-togethers, while a detached bonus structure opens the door to whatever you need most: studio, office, garage, or all of the above. A long side driveway adds generous off-street parking and access. The condition has been upgraded throughout including dual pane windows, extensive insulation, newer heat and AC and an on demand water heater. Bright, grounded, and full of possibility, this Castro Valley home invites you to live your next chapter, your way.
