A well cared for home, move in ready, featuring,1,379 SF of living space, with 3 large bedrooms, including an extra-large master suite, with two separate closets and access to the backyard, 2 updated bathrooms and a beautifully remodeled open, eat-in kitchen, with rich cherry wood cabinets, granite counters and tile floors. The living room is nice and large with a wood burning stove, brand new carpet and the home is freshly painted throughout. Alongside the garage, the extra wide driveway, has been extended, running all the way to the rear of the house, gated, with room enough for boat or trailer parking. At the end of the driveway, is a workshop and a large tuff-like shed. The backyard is low maintenance, with a nice patio area, great for entertaining, plus another smaller, tuff-like shed, cute enough to be a child’s playhouse. The home has dual pane windows, central heat, built in 1948 and sits on a 5,220. SF lot, it’s close to freeways, BART and Downtown Castro Valley.
