18650 Center St

Welcome to this beautifully maintained home in desirable upper Castro Valley, just minutes from top-rated, award-winning schools. Featuring vaulted ceilings, natural light, and a split-level design, with many of the major updates already completed. The main living level showcases an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area—well suited for both everyday living and entertaining. A versatile sunroom on this level provides the perfect space for a home office, fitness area, or a relaxing retreat to enjoy morning coffee or evening sunsets. The living area features a beautiful three-sided fireplace with a gas line already in place, offering the potential for gas conversion (buyer to verify). The upper level features a spacious primary suite with dual closets and a private ensuite bathroom, along with two additional bedrooms and an updated hall bath. Hardwood flooring extends through the main living areas and bedrooms, while dual-pane windows throughout enhance energy efficiency—many of which are Milgard and may still be under warranty.

The home also offers convenient interior access to a two-car garage. The outdoor spaces are equally inviting, with a spacious front patio framed by mature landscaping—ideal for lounge seating—along with a backyard designed for both relaxation and entertaining. The property also features drip irrigation in both the front and rear yards. For added peace of mind, all recommended roof repairs have been recently completed. Ideally located near Lake Chabot, vibrant downtown Castro Valley, BART, and major commuter routes including I-580, I-238, and I-880.
