Welcome to the serene setting of Palo Verde Road. This home sits on a 1.2 acre lot with an adjoining lot of .3 acres. They are sold together. Listen to the creek roll by as you open the windows to greet the day. Watch the stars at night. The home offers 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. Beautiful hardwood floors in the living room and dining room. Almost full basement. Oversized 2 car garage. And 3 additional outbuildings. You are minutes away from downtown Castro Valley, Freeways and Castro Valley Schools. But you would never know it by how quiet it is. Make this home your own.
