Rare, original-owner Eichler offered for the first time since new in 1960. Well preserved mostly-original condition. Bring your design talents to make this your personal mid-century marvel: Floor-to-ceiling glass, richly-paneled walls, beamed ceilings, dramatic overhangs and light-filled center-atrium design will all speak to the Modern Enthusiast. The open kitchen was nicely remodeled, could work with design aesthetic one wants to see in an Eichler. There are numerous dual-pane windows and other improvements the owner did over time. The original horizontal-sliding double garage doors are amazing to witness in operation, as are the many original light fixtures in this home. Extra-large lot backs to wooded privacy, (no rear or across neighbors!) w/room for entertaining, gardening, kids/pets/hobbies; flat upper yard + large lower area. Minutes from BART, schools, shopping. One of Castro Valley's most favored neighborhoods truly "above it all, in the middle of it all."

This home needs a lot of work. Much of it is original. There is a lot of natural light with a lot of windows.

Local insights from Redfin agents
Castro Valley's late-summer market shows a clear split. While median prices hold near $1.2M, increased inventory gives buyers leverage on older properties. However, immaculate homes still go pending in under 15 days. A strong, clean offer is key!
Strong buyer demand keeps the Castro Valley market moving incredibly fast. With homes frequently selling above their $1.2 million median price, decisive action is essential. To win here, buyers need to submit competitive offers quickly and minimize...
