First time on the market since 1968 (most likely before you were born) for this incredible and iconic Eichler home designed by legendary architectural firm Jones & Emmons, and built in 1960 during phase 1 of the Greenridge neighborhood development of Castro Valley. Fabulous single level, 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom open air atrium model with massive “pop-top” great room, makes this one of the more coveted designs for its style and functionality. This particular Eichler home embraces the nostalgia of the mid-century modern era, and sure to please those looking for an Eichler home in more original condition including an unaltered floor plan, original cabinetry, closet and cabinet doors in great condition, unpainted wood burning brick fireplace in excellent working order, and gorgeous original mahogany paneling throughout. Other features include a massive 2 car attached garage, an insulated foam roof, and radiant heating with copper lines. All situated on a very large and private lot with deck and patio and easterly views of the hills and canyons.
Ridges, located between Lake Chabot Regional Park and the Castro Valley Marketplace district, is a hillside and residential Castro Valley neighborhood with winding ridge roads and wide East Bay views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Redwood Road and Castro Valley Boulevard junction, where coffee counters, small eateries, and local storefronts set a steady, day-to-day rhythm. Housing leans toward mid-century ranch homes and contemporary rebuilds tucked along curving streets and cul-de-sacs. Trailheads and oak-studded open space shape an outdoors-forward routine. Community touchstones include the Castro Valley Farmers’ Market, Chabot Cinema, and the Castro Valley Arts Foundation’s gallery and events. BART at Castro Valley Station links the ridgelines to the broader Bay Area without changing the quiet, elevated feel.
