Some homes are renovated. This one was reborn. Rebuilt and reimagined from the studs up, this 2,817 sq. ft., 3-bedroom, 2-full-and-2-half-bathroom residence in one of Castro Valley's most desirable neighborhoods is a true architectural original - tucked back on its lot and nestled among the trees. Plaster and natural wood finishes, Spanish tile and rich wood floors, and one-of-a-kind stained-glass windows make this a home unlike anything else on the market. Upstairs, the spacious living room with vaulted ceilings and a plaster fireplace connects to an open kitchen with craftsman detailing, stone countertops, a dedicated dining area, and walk-in pantry. A wraparound deck extends the living space outward, enhancing your indoor-outdoor experience. The primary suite offers gorgeous natural light, two bathroom spaces, multiple closets, and its own private deck access (overlooking the yard!). Downstairs, 2 additional bedrooms, 2 additional bathrooms, and a large flexible living area with a partial kitchen, secondary fireplace, and separate exterior access through beautiful French doors offer potential for multigenerational living, a studio, or whatever comes next. A spacious utility room with a laundry closet and sunroom windows makes an idyllic bonus office. Outside, enjoy a newly landscaped front yard, a private backyard patio, and a secondary yard space perfect for a garden, play area, or fire pit. Additional highlights include: skylights throughout, ample parking plus a covered multi-car carport round things out, all close to Castro Valley schools, Lake Chabot park, and trails. This home has already been reimagined once - and still holds room for you to make it your own.
