Welcome to 1229 C Street — a 1905 bungalow full of original character, freshly updated throughout, and just minutes from downtown Hayward! From the moment you pull up you’ll see the difference: classic covered front porch, low-maintenance front yard, and a beautiful, mature orange tree. Step inside to a welcoming entry foyer and a bright, light-filled living room showcasing the home’s turn-of-the-century craftsmanship — tall baseboards, crown molding, and wide window and door casings throughout! Freshly painted with wide-plank flooring in the living areas and bedrooms. The eat-in kitchen is ready for cooking and entertaining with quartz countertops, shaker cabinetry, a gas range with stainless hood, and designer tile backsplash. Just off the kitchen, an adjoining pantry room offers a double-basin sink, full quartz counters and backsplash, and wraparound cabinetry — a classic period layout with storage to spare. Indoor laundry room with washer & dryer included and its own door to the backyard! Three spacious bedrooms and two beautifully updated bathrooms, each with a walk-in stall shower. But the real showstopper is outside. A long, gated driveway opens to an enormous fenced concrete yard wrapping the entire rear of the home — room for multiple vehicles, an RV, boat or trailer, PLUS a dedicated patio seating area for entertaining. Walkable to downtown Hayward’s shops and restaurants with easy access to Hayward BART, I-880 and Hwy 92. Your buyers are going to love this one!
