Excellent Castro Valley Hills location... walking distance to award wining CV schools... large, level 7,800 sq.ft lot. Original 3 bedroom 2 bathroom home expanded by original family-owner to a 4 bedroom 3 bathroom home with an added kitchenette and huge family room... Builder left downstairs unfinished but included a fireplace in the 1950's. Could be an excellent au-pair or in-law unit w/ separate street level entrance. Original HWF's on main level and stairs... large deck with some filtered views of the bay. Beautiful roses, large lawn area, covered and uncovered patio areas... So much potential for sweat equity... disclosure link: https://app.disclosures.io/link/5083-Rahlves-Drive-g4baf1sd
