The story

Experience the best of Mid-Century Modern architecture and contemporary living in this beautifully remodeled tri-level home, ideally situated in one of Castro Valley’s most desirable neighborhoods. With sweeping city views, striking architectural lines, and extensive interior and exterior improvements, this move-in-ready residence offers exceptional style, comfort, and versatility. Step inside to a bright, open interior highlighted by soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, waterproof flooring, updated lighting, and thoughtfully selected finishes throughout. The dramatic formal living room showcases the home’s Mid-Century character with vaulted architectural details, a wood-burning fireplace, and an adjustable TV wall mount—creating an inviting setting for both everyday living and entertaining. At the heart of the home is the beautifully updated kitchen featuring quartz countertops, modern cabinetry, updated appliances, generous prep and storage space, and an open connection to the spacious family room with vaulted ceilings. The flowing floor plan creates comfortable spaces for gatherings while still offering distinct areas for relaxation and everyday life. The main-level primary suite provides a private retreat with a generous sitting area, while three additional bedrooms offer flexibility for family, guests, a home office, or creative space. The approximately 528-square-foot finished lower level adds even more versatility and is ideal for a media room, home office, fitness studio, playroom, hobby space, or bonus room. This area was completed by a previous owner/contractor to code but without permits. Buyer is advised to independently verify square footage, permit status, and intended use to their satisfaction. Outside, enjoy a private backyard designed for both relaxation and entertaining. Fresh sod, new mulch, automatic front and rear sprinklers, established landscaping, garden areas, a spacious patio, play structures, a charming playhouse, and additional storage create a welcoming outdoor environment with plenty of room to enjoy the California lifestyle. Additional features include central air conditioning, dual-pane windows, updated lighting and fixtures, window coverings, an attached two-car garage with interior access, garage door opener, and an epoxy-coated garage floor. And the location is hard to beat. Enjoy convenient access to highly regarded Castro Valley schools, downtown Castro Valley’s restaurants, cafés, shopping and community
