This 1938 Spanish-style gem on a quiet street features arched doorways, floor-to-ceiling living and dining room windows, a stone-accented fireplace, stucco walls, hardwood floors, wrought-iron railings, and a balcony off of each bedroom. Thoughtful updates add comfort throughout, including a chef’s kitchen with gas range, stainless steel appliances, butcher block island, ample storage, and a dining nook overlooking the lush backyard. Nestle into the ground-floor den, which offers patio access, a stylish full bath, and laundry. Upstairs, three light-filled bedrooms share a beautifully tiled full bath. San Leandro is a gardener’s delight! Revel in the fenced, landscaped patio, with plenty of space to dine, work and entertain amidst pollinator-friendly plants and a charming fountain. An attached garage provides storage, workshop, or workout space, plus ample off-street parking. Located on tranquil Pala Avenue yet so close to local favorites such as Paradiso Restaurant, Zocalo Cafe, and Sprouts Market. Wonderful location for commuting, whether on BART, about a mile away, or by highway to Berkeley, San Francisco, Silicon Valley, and beyond.
