21175 Birch Street

Room to spread out, big upgrades done, and a backyard that feels like a resort. This 3 bed, 2.5 bath home sits below the street at the end of a long private drive in Cherryland, right on the Castro Valley border. Cook in the updated kitchen, host holidays in the large dining room, and unwind in the family room before heading out back for a swim. You’re also minutes from 580, 880, and 238. Three things stand out. First, the space. The living, dining, and family rooms are all large, and the 3 upstairs bedrooms are roomy too. The primary suite has a walk-in closet and a remodeled bath with a glass walk-in shower. Indoor laundry and a half bath are downstairs. Second, the upgrades. You’ll find fresh exterior paint, a 200-amp panel, an EV charger, new LVP flooring downstairs, new carpet upstairs and on the stairs, and air conditioning with an automated air-balancing system. The kitchen has white shaker cabinets and stainless steel appliances, and the bathrooms have been updated with modern touches. The property also has a French drain system connected to a sump pump, with no history of standing water or drainage issues, even after heavy rains. Third, the backyard. It’s well kept and private, with a pool, spa, shaded patio, and gazebo, all surrounded by tall palms and trees with no rear neighbors. There’s plenty of parking too, with a big turnaround area, a 2-car garage, and side parking for a boat, RV, or extra vehicles. It’s a lot of home in a private setting.
