Remarks

Enchanting Eichler home designed by legendary mid-century modern architect Claude Oakland in Castro Valley’s coveted Greenridge neighborhood. Rarely available single level 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom mid-century marvel featuring an open air atrium entrance with retractable roof, located on one of the quietest streets on an impressive secluded level lot of over a quarter acre that feels more like your own private estate with westerly views of the Bay, hills, and valley that will take your breath away. The outdoor space is truly remarkable and reminiscent of the Fioli Gardens with various fauna and flora that give you the feel of your own exclusive park with multiple areas for relaxation and entertainment, an outdoor gas kitchen, and a pool and separate hot tub just to make you the most popular person with your friends and family! Other features include an insulated foam roof, that’s ideal for keeping Eichler homes cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, a massive 2 car attached garage with automatic doors, radiant heat with an updated high efficiency boiler/water heater combo, gas burning fireplace, updated kitchen with island and rare gas burning stove, Hunter Douglass window treatments and more!
