Sited on a prominent corner lot this impeccably landscaped ranch has been tastefully remodeled throughout. All on one level the garden and home have the perfect indoor/outdoor flow with verdant views from nearly every window, patios bordered by roses, mature trees surrounded by a native, drought tolerant and pollinator friendly garden! The interior has vaulted ceilings, original wood paneling, refinished oak floors and dual pane windows with custom plantation shutters. The heart of the home is the kitchen, open to the dining room and overlooking both the front and back garden spaces. Custom cherry cabinets, decorative tile, ample storage with display cabinetry, granite counters and premium stainless appliances. A bonus family room with french doors that opens to the backyard has the second fireplace, a built in desk and storage cabinetry. An unparalleled location just moments to the Castro Valley Market Place, Public Market, Lake Chabot, hiking trails & the Community Center Park!
