5223 Crane Avenue

Distinctive mid-century charm, thoughtful updates, and a peaceful hillside setting make 5223 Crane Ave truly special. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers approximately 1,604 square feet of bright, open living space and architectural details you simply don’t find every day. Step inside to a light-filled, open floor plan where soaring open beam ceilings, and a floor-to-ceiling dual sided brick fireplace set the tone. Natural wood accents and unique architectural details add warmth and character, creating a relaxed mid-century vibe that feels both stylish and welcoming. Fresh updates complement the original architecture without taking away what makes the home special. New wide plank flooring flows through the main living areas, new lighting gives the interiors a freshed feel, and beautifully renovated bathrooms bring a clean, contemporary finish. The open kitchen features generous counter space, stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, and an easy connection to the surrounding living and entertaining areas. Large windows and glass doors bring in natural light and extend the living space outdoors to a low-maintenance yard—ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying without a long list of weekend yard projects. And the setting is just as appealing. Located in the scenic Castro Valley hills, the home feels tucked away while remaining conveniently located within walking distance to award winning schools, shopping, dining, commuter routes, and miles of regional trails.
