Experience the perfect blend of timeless Mid-Century Modern architecture and contemporary luxury in this extensively remodeled tri-level home, ideally situated in one of Castro Valley's most desirable neighborhoods. Offering sweeping city views and exceptional curb appeal, this move-in-ready residence has been thoughtfully upgraded from top to bottom, delivering the feel of a brand-new home. The light-filled interior welcomes you with soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, waterproof flooring, designer finishes, and a spacious open floor plan ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The elegant formal living room features a beautiful wood-burning fireplace, a remote-adjustable TV wall mount, and dramatic architectural lines that showcase the home's unique character. The beautifully remodeled kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring quartz countertops, updated cabinetry, modern appliances, generous prep space, and an open-concept design overlooking the inviting family room with vaulted ceilings. Whether hosting guests or enjoying a quiet evening at home, the seamless flow between living spaces creates an exceptional living experience. The spacious main-level primary suite provides a peaceful retreat with a comfortable sitting area, while three additional bedrooms offer flexibility for family, guests, or remote work. Adding tremendous value is the approximately 528-square-foot finished lower level, completed by a previous owner/contractor to code but without permits. This versatile space is ideal for a home office, media room, fitness area, playroom, bonus room, or possible fourth bedroom. Buyer is advised to verify square footage, permits, and intended use to their satisfaction. Step outside to your private backyard oasis featuring lush new green sod, fresh mulch, automatic front and rear sprinklers, mature landscaping, garden areas, a spacious patio, play structures, a charming dollhouse, and additional storage—creating the perfect setting for entertaining, relaxing, or family gatherings. Additional upgrades 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. Location is everything, and this home truly delivers. Enjoy Castro Valley's award-winning schools, vibrant downtown filled with local restaurants, cafés, boutique shopping, and community events.
