18464 Plymouth Dr, Castro Valley, California 94546

This feels like a neighborhood– front porches, wide sidewalks, shade trees, grass, no traffic. Perched above the city, there are views of the Oakland Hills and the Bay, and on the 4th of July you can see all the fireworks shows. Chabot and Redwood Regional parks are your bigger backyard, and downtown Castro Valley is a short jaunt, where Lucca’s Italian Deli, Knudsen’s Ice Creamery, and Barons Quality Meats will become your new favorites. Plus, commuters rejoice! Easy BART and freeway access. Enter into a clean, light living room with window shutters, wood floors, new recessed lighting, and an inviting fireplace. Next stop is the recently remodeled kitchen with stainless appliances, new countertops and backsplash. The sunny bedrooms have oversized closets, and the bathrooms updated. What makes this house special, however, is the sunroom and garden. This is the area you will want to spend time: with windows on all sides and little party lights above, impromptu indoor/outdoor entertaining becomes effortless. And the backyard is low maintenance with planting beds, hardscape, privacy trees, sunshine. And there are already roses and citrus.
