Stellar location and a fantastic floor plan! This beautifully updated, almost level-in single-level home is nestled in coveted Upper Castro Valley, close to highly acclaimed schools. Modernized throughout, it features a stunning chef’s kitchen with quartz countertops, custom subway tile backsplash, premium stainless appliances including a gas range and hood, and classic white shaker cabinets. Warm engineered wood floors flow into the dining area and family room, highlighted by a timeless brick fireplace with a gas insert. From here, step out to a private backyard with a patio and lawn for entertaining, plus a terraced area ideal for raised beds and gardening. A separate living room provides an extra retreat or flexible use space. The home offers three bedrooms, including a refreshed primary suite; both bathrooms are updated with newer vanities, large-format tile, and seamless glass shower doors. Additional upgrades include crown molding, newer baseboards, recessed lighting, and newer windows. A two-car attached garage with laundry area—washer and dryer included—completes this move-in ready home.
