Views and a deck made for entertaining! This split-level Castro Valley home features 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, with newer paint throughout. The street level offers 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, with ceiling fans in the bedrooms. A few steps down lead to the combined living and dining area, where a wall of windows fills the home with natural light and sunsets can be enjoyed from multiple rooms. The upgraded kitchen offers plenty of cabinetry, a pantry, new lighting, glass-front display cabinets, stainless steel appliances, a farmhouse sink, a mosaic tile backsplash, and sliding doors to the deck. Next to it, a vaulted breakfast nook with arched window, chandelier, and built-in bench seating is perfect for morning coffee. The primary suite enjoys valley views, French doors to its own balcony, and a walk-through entry with his-and-hers closets. Downstairs, a family room (or man cave) with a 4th bedroom and half bath opens through sliding doors to the backyard. Outside, a Canary Islands-inspired saltwater pool with heater, natural stone, waterfall, and spa jets anchors a private, secluded oasis with expansive views, no direct rear neighbors, and level front and back yards. Low-maintenance landscaping with mature plants and a drip irrigation system, plus the deck, make hosting and family gatherings easy. Abundant storage, EV charging, and an electrical panel upgrade add everyday convenience. Quiet neighborhood close to Eden Hospital, freeways, and downtown Castro Valley, with top-rated schools nearby. Don’t miss this entertainer’s dream! Views: Ridge
